Greece’s food safety authority, EFET, has announced the recall of specific batches of hummus products after Salmonella bacteria was found in a batch of tahini used as a raw ingredient.
The company AMBROSIA S.A. discovered the contamination through its own internal quality control checks, following microbiological analysis, and has already requested that retailers withdraw the affected batches.
The recall covers products sold under the “hummus” name by AMBROSIA itself, as well as private-label products made by the same company: “Mikres Farmes tou Vounou” (sold by MARKET IN) and “Hummus Eklekto Makedonias” (sold by EGNATIA S.A. – Discount Markt).
These products had been distributed to various food retail businesses. EFET is urging consumers who have already purchased any of the affected batches not to eat them and to check batch numbers and expiration dates against the official recall list.
