MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho --  Sabra Dipping Company is recalling certain hummus products due to concerns over Listeria monocytogenes. While the bacteria was not found in the actual product, it was identified at their manufacturing facility.

The Mountain Home AFB Public Health Office confirmed that our installation's commissary carried these products. All affected items have been removed from the shelves. No other base establishments sold these products. To date, there have been no reports indicating that these products have caused any illness.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer 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.
