Listeria in hummus prompts national recall by Sabra

Re: Listeria in hummus prompts national recall by Sabra

    Wow I almost had a heart attack. Just got done chowing down on sabra olive tapenade hummus... It's so frustrating that we do our best to avoid deli meat, hot dogs, etc and could end up getting listeria from hummus or lettuce.

    Everything I read says don't eat Hummus when preggo? Is it only certain types that should be avoided?

    I have a half eaten container of one of those in my fridge.  I have been eating it for the past week and a half...checked the lot number and, yup, it's one of the ones identified in the outbreak.  I guess I just keep my eye out for symptoms, but I am guessing I would have already started feeling sick.  Aghh.

    Yep, after the listeria incident in salad, I do not avoid hot dogs, sushi, deli meat while pregnant.

    I actually made my own hummus on Sunday because I also read that it could be a good place for bacteria. It was super easy to make. That being said I'm seriously going to Jimmy Johns soon. I'm a FTM and bought into all the lunch meat & hot dog crap. Then freaked because I ate a scoop of Blue Bell. Listeria can be anywhere!

    @dirtymartini I'm not sure and haven't done much research but I think I remember reading that the incubation time for listeria can be a few weeks, and that you may not see any symptoms but it could be affecting baby. I'm a worrier so it may be just me but I would call my doctor and ask just to be sure.

    I called my doctor and they just said be on the lookout for symptoms.

    I did some reading up, and yes, the incubation period can be weeks, and some people don't really develop symptoms.  So, who knows.  I'm feeling pretty helpless considering  I could have some infection incubating in me that I have no way of knowing about and it could kill my baby.

    It's only hummus containing tahini but its on the definate no list in all my books. Different country, different ideas I guess.
