Shoprite-owned Checkers and selected OK Foods stores have initiated a voluntary recall of 300g and 125g tubs of its fresh Deli hummus after routine testing found microbial contamination in three batches.
The affected products had a sell-by date of between 10 September and 8 October 2024.
The products being removed from supermarkets nationwide included Hummus, Reduced Fat Hummus, Zataar Hummus, Red Pepper Hummus, and Caramelised Onion Hummus.
The company said that the contamination was found in three batches of Deli-branded hummus, which is an inhouse brand, on Monday morning. Microbial contamination usually refers to bacteria, viruses or parasites that spoil food.
"As a precautionary measure the affected batches, together with associated products, are being recalled," it said.
