Popular Grocery Store Issues Massive Recall In New York State

With the big game coming up this weekend, we’ve been making frequent trips to the grocery store to pick up our essential game day snack. Carts across New York are filled to the brim with wings, pizza, chips, and dip ready to stuff in our faces.

Be careful, though - one of our favorite foods to chow down on during the big game is being recalled for a dangerous reason.

Wegmans Recalls Popular Super Bowl Snack

Wegmans recently announced a recall of their Food You Feel Good About Harissa Hummus Dip, which is sold in dozens of their stores across the northeast, including in New York State.

FDA

The spicy and smoky hummus dip was sold between January 29 and February 2, 2024 in several New York Wegmans stores.

Why Is Wegmans Recalling Their Harissa Hummus Dip?

Wegmans warns its customers that a recent batch of the popular dip could possibly contain a sesame allergen that was unlisted on the packaging.

If you aren’t allergic to sesame, you should theoretically be fine - but if you are, the consequences could be severe.

For people with a sesame allergen, the FDA states that by consuming the dip, you may run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.

Allergic reactions to sesame can vary in severity, including:

Itchiness inside the mouth
Coughing
Flushing in the face
Hives
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Difficulty breathing
Low pulse
Anaphylaxis
