Sabra recalls 30K cases of hummus

NEW YORK

About 30,000 cases of Sabra hummus sold nationwide are being recalled due to a possible Listeria contamination.

Listeria is a foodborne illness that can cause high fevers and nausea in minor cases, but the infections can be fatal to people with weakened immune systems and young children, along with causing miscarriages in pregnant women.

It is the second listeria-related recall this week. Blue Bell Creameries on Tuesday recalled banana-pudding ice cream that tested positive for listeria, expanding an earlier ice-cream recall. Eight people in Texas and Kansas have been afflicted by tainted products, and three have died.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the hummus recall. The Sabra Dipping Co. is a joint venture of PepsiCo and Strauss Group.

The recalled products include:
