Major Food Recalls Due To Listeria Hit Midwest

If you purchased walnuts, hummus or dips in Missouri or Illinois between March and May 2014, you need to check some packaging.

Sherman Produce has announced an immediate recall of “Schnucks brand 10-ounce trays of walnuts” with the UPC code 00338390032 because the product could be contaminated with listeria.  The USDA detected listeria in walnuts that were sampled at the production facility.

Consumers are used to throw them away immediately or seek a refund.

Hot Mama’s Foods has recalled almost 15,000 pounds of hummus and dip products because of Listeria.   The items were sold at Target, Trader Joe’s and other retailers.

The listeria was discovered during a routine test by the Texas Department of Health.  Customers are advised not to eat the recalled products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund.  Customers can also call 1-877-550-0694 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
