Hummus Recalled for Possible Listeria Contamination

Spokane Produce is recalling approximately 59 pounds of Victor’s Sesame Hummus due to concerns about possible Listeria Monocytogenes.

The recalled product is labeled with UPC 6 09722 76501 5 and a best-by date of 12/29/13. The hummus was distributed to retail locations (Rosauers, Brewster Market, SuperOne) in Washington and Montana.

No illnesses have been reported in association with this recall.

The Listeria species were discovered during routine testing of the newly released product. The Listeria test used is an indicator of several species of Listeria and does not specifically indicate Listeria Monocytogenes.

Consumers who have purchased Victor Toasted Sesame Hummus are urged not to eat it and to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
