Has the popular Maza hummus been a staple on your grocery list? Perhaps it’s time to rethink that choice for the time being. 😬
The spread producer has warned that listeria might be present in two types of its products — the Esfenaj spinach dip and the less salt Hummus, RTL Nieuws reports.
The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority has issued a safety warning.
What’s the deal with listeria?
The bacteria can be particularly harmful to elderly people, children, people with a weakened immune system, and pregnant women.
While the chances of getting infected with listeria are actually small, the consequences can be pretty severe if you do end up getting listeriosis. In extreme cases, it can lead to miscarriage and premature birth.
❗ What to look out for?
