SHARE Listeria recall announced for Trader Joe's dips, Target hummus

About 7 tons of hummus and dips sold at Target and Trader Joe’s is subject to recall according to a release from the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday. The recall for Archer Farms dips and hummus is voluntary for a “risk” of listeria, though no illnesses have been reported.

Prepared Foods manufacturer, Lansal, Inc.( d.b.a Hot Mama’s Foods), announced today that as a precaution it is voluntarily recalling approximately 14,860 pounds of hummus and dip products due to concerns about possible Listeria monocytogenes, an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
