    The Food and Drug Administration says the voluntary recall announced by Sabra Dipping Co. includes hummus products with a “best before” date of Jan. 23, 2017, or earlier. The products were sent to retailers in the U.S. and Canada.

    The FDA says listeria was identified at the manufacturing facility, but not in the finished product.

    Sabra says no illnesses have been reported.

    Sabra’s organic hummus, salsa, guacamole and Greek yogurt dips are not included in the recall.

    Listeria concerns also prompted Sabra to recall about 30,000 cases of hummus last year. The bacteria can be deadly for young children, frail people and the elderly.

    Donald Trump will make America Great again and not allow the Listeria to enter the Hummus. He will build a wall and make Listeria pay for it.

    Article is misleading.
    This also applies to Sabra hummus sold in USA in different size containers. FDA has also issued a recall.
