FDA Announces Hummus Recall in 2 States Due to Allergy Risk

Five types of hummus have been recalled due to an undeclared allergen, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Wednesday. The hummus, made by Carrot Top County Kitchens, LLC, contained sesame, which can be dangerous to those with an allergy or severe sensitivity to the ingredient.

The five varieties of recalled hummus include:

• Lemon Garlic Hummus
• Lime Ginger Hummus
• White Truffle Hummus
• Sundried Tomato and Caper Hummus
• Cherry Pepper Hummus

All recalled hummus products were sold in 8-ounce (226-gram) plastic containers.

The products were sold at Rochambeau Farm Store in Bedford, NY, as well as at farmers markets in Connecticut.

The FDA has included sesame as a major food allergen in the U.S. since the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research Act of 2021; it’s now mandatory that companies call out sesame on ingredient labels.

There have been no reported illnesses linked to the recall, but consumers who may have the recalled hummus at home are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
