Checkers supermarkets and selected OK Foods locations are voluntarily recalling their 300g and 125g tubs of fresh Deli hummus with sell-by dates ranging from 10 September to 8 October 2024.
The following products are being withdrawn from store shelves nationwide:
- Hummus
- Reduced Fat Hummus
- Zaatar Hummus
- Red Pepper Hummus
- Caramelised Onion Hummus
The company identified microbiological contamination in three batches of Deli branded hummus during routine quality testing.
As a precaution, the affected batches and related products are being recalled.
"We understand that customers will be concerned and apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience caused by this voluntary recall," said Shoprite.
They also advised, "customers who may have purchased these products should not consume it and instead return them to their nearest Checkers supermarket or OK Foods for a full refund."
"I buy it often, but not this time."
