All Greek-style food products manufactured by Yorgo’s Foods Inc. in Manchester, NH are now being recalled because of possible contamination from Listeria monocytogenes. It’s an expansion of the Yorgo’s Nov. 10 recall, which originally involved only select varieties of Hommus and Baba Ghannouj.
The expanded recall involves products distributed to retail stores nationwide. Most of the recalled products were distributed in 8, 12, 16 and 32-ounce plastic cups or 2 and 5-pound plastic bags. The products should be discarded or returned to the grocery store where purchased for credit.

No illnesses have yet been reported in connection with the recalled products.
The potential contamination was identified as a concern by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after routine environmental sampling found Listeria monocytogenes in the processing environment and in one sample of “Original Tahini Sauce.”
Yorgo’s has voluntarily suspended manufacturing of all foods while the FDA and company continue to investigate the source of the problem and work to eliminate it. The company did not say how long manufacturing will be halted.
Listeria is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in pregnant women, young children, frail or elderly people, those with weakened immune systems and in unborn fetuses.
Others may experience 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.
