7-Eleven has been impacted by a hummus recall due to a possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
LSG Sky Chefs Supply Chain Solutions Inc. last week issued a voluntary recall for the 7-Eleven Chicken and Hummus sandwiches the company produces for 7-Eleven stores in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Ohio and the Buffalo, N.Y. markets.
The hummus spread used in the sandwiches is subject to a voluntary national recall issued by Sabra Dipping Co. due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. All 7-Eleven Chicken with Hummus sandwiches have already been pulled from affected 7-Eleven stores. No other products or retailers are involved in this voluntary recall.
Listeria monocytogenes, is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
Consumers who purchased this sandwich at 7-Eleven stores between Nov. 18-20, 2016 are asked to dispose of the product or return it to a 7-Eleven store for a full refund. Additionally, consumers should also look for a “best buy” date located on the back of the package of Nov. 19-21, 2016.
Approximately 389 7-Eleven Chicken and Hummus sandwiches, packaged in a plastic clam shell, net et. 8-ounces, UPC 0 52548 58888 5, were produced and distributed to 7-Eleven stores in the Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo areas.
To date, LSG Sky Chefs has received no reports of illnesses associated with this sandwich. The quality of its products and safety of its consumers is its foremost concern. The company will continue to work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. For more information, please call (214) 368-0909 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST.
