PrincessMommy Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 oh good grief... I just finished one of those last night! I can't get the link to work...must be a lot of people eating hummus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I can't get the link to work either -- here's the FDA's link: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441863 It seems to involve just the Classic variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for the heads up and the links. We just bought some hummus last night. Ours was not affected. We love that stuff! Even though we can make hummus, it's never as good. We buy the big tub @ Costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Marmalade Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Sabra is usually the hummus I buy when I buy it, but wouldn't you know, I've been buying a new brand that popped up on the shelf a month or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz4me Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We have some in the fridge, but thankfully it's the Supremely Spicy flavor, not the Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathnerd Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Our codes don't match -but I wonder if I should just chuck the whole thing out because it could have come from the same manufacturing plant. I bought the double pack from costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaniemom Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We just finished a recalled tub. Dd8 has been complaining of headache/stomach upset since yesterday. Guess a call to the nurse is in order although it has been 4-5 days since she had any hummus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenvneck Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We have that brand but the pine nut variety. I thought that it was just classic with the addition of pine nut oil and pine nuts, but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This Sabra "bean dip" is NOT HUMMUS in any case. Hummus is made with olive oil and lemon juice (in addition to chickpeas and tahinah), but Sabra contains neither. The texture (ultra-whipped) is also way off. Don't like it with or without listeria. It is bean dip, not hummus. Bill 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnE-girl Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We had some of that brand we've been eating, so DH just pitched it without checking the lot number to be safe.

Spy Car Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 LOL - my dd agrees with you. She calls it bean paste. She's been spoiled because every summer she goes to an Arab Christian camp and eats yummy food. I was fortunate to be schooled in the fine art of hummus making by a pair of visiting Jordanian (Christian) "Aunties" (not my Aunties, but the mothers of two female cousins I was friendly with in college). I still have my notebook where I scribbled notes for all the dishes we prepared together for the feasting take took place during their stay. Those were worthwhile hours in the kitchen. Sabra bean paste is a pale imitation of traditional authentic hummus. Your daughter is fortunate to know the difference. Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Well, I've made my own hummus, in addition to homemade baba gonoush so I will stand proudly with one foot planted in the Sabra world and one planted in the homemade world. I've made my own pasta, too, but I don't have time to do all the things anymore and keep up with the children and the pets and the interwebs. ;) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hmmm. Maybe I should search out some toy and baby item recalls to tell them that their brand of toy isn't a "real toy". Forget the real danger to real people who might have actually bought the product. Thanks, OP for starting this thread. I had seen the recall on the news last night but hadn't looked up the information on the codes because I wanted to go to bed. Having this thread here was not only a reminder, but made it easier to do so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always have some form of hummus (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) around here. Sometimes we make it; sometimes we don't. I'd rather have the facsimile than none at all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaniemom Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The nurse said as long as dd doesn't have a fever or neck stiffness that I can just keep an eye on her if I am comfortable with that but if I want her seen they were willing to get her in. I think considering she went to school cheerfully this morning that waiting and watching will be our course of action and hopefully this is a weird coincidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 They are working on a modified probiotic pill that will help to prevent Listeria. http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2012/01/could-a-probiotic-pill-decrease-listeria-risk/#.VSbXSqarM3w Unmodified ones might not prevent it but I doubt they would hurt and might help if you've ingested something with the bacterium.

Bill I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Beaniemom had already posted that her dd has been ill and that she had eaten some of the recalled hummus, so I think it was rather callous to start talking about whether or not Sabra makes "real hummus." One of our boardies' children may be ill from the stuff. And your concern is whether or not it meets your definition of hummus? :glare: Enjoy your discussion.

Spy Car Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Cortas brand. from Lebanon, in a can is pretty good hummus. It takes a little doctoring once you open it—a little olive oil and a squirt of lemon and any flavorings one might like (za'atar, sumac, roast cumin, garlic etc)—which is what the manufacturer intends. but the basic texture and taste is good. Well priced, and shelf stable in the can until opened. Much better (and cheaper) than Sabra. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
