UPDATE: November 20, 2016 at 10:19 a.m.
Listeria may be back at Sabra Dipping Co. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, the company is voluntarily recalling hummus products and spreads because they may be contaminated.
Listeria monocytogenes have been found at a plant where the hummus is manufactured, but none of the products that have been tested seem to contain the bacteria, the FDA notes. However the products that may still be an issue were apparently manufactured before November 8, and have been distributed to retail outlets in the United States and Canada.
The affected products include nearly every flavor of the hummus—a full list of which can be found on the FDA website. Though, the brand strongly distinguishes, there are Sabra products not included in the recall, including its organic hummus, salsa, guacamole and greek yogurt dips.
So far, no illnesses have been reported but consumers are urged to discard any product with a "Best Before" date (printed on the lid of each container) through January 23, 2017.

If you've recently purchased Sabra Dipping Company Classic Hummus, be advised: Executives have voluntarily recalled 30,000 cases due to possible listeria contamination, said officials of the Food and Drug Administration yesterday. Although there have been no illnesses yet reported, samples of Listeria monocytogenes were found by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development during a routine random sampling late last month.
According to NBC 5 Chicago, the products are being recalled nationwide, across all stores and supermarkets. Consumers can find a complete list of the affected containers here.
