According to the FDA, “Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.” According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1,600 people get listeriosis each year, and about 260 die.

The good news? Luckily, no illnesses have been reported at this time regarding these hummus products. Pita Pal Foods has issued the recall solely out of caution.
