The Food and Drug Administration said a Houston-based food company has recalled nearly 100 products over concerns of a possible Listeria contamination, including a variety of dips and hummus.

Pita Pal Foods LP issued the voluntary recall on products made between May 30, 2019, and June 25, 2019, after an FDA inspection at one of the company’s manufacturing facilities confirmed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. The company statement, issued on Monday, July 15, notes that the Listeria contaminants were found in the facility only, not in any finished food products.
