Dipping veggies in hummus can be a great, tasty way to satiate your cravings while staying on track with your health goals—but unfortunately for hummus lovers, a range of tasty dips from Al Amir Fresh Foods were just recalled, according to an FDA announcement.

Al Amir Fresh Dips Recalled for Undeclared Milk
Al Amir Fresh Foods, located in Milwaukie, Oregan, has issued a recall on four of their dips due to undeclared allergens. Three varieties of hummus contain undeclared sesame, while their Tzatziki Cucumber Yogurt contains undeclared milk.
"People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame or milk run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products," the FDA warns.
The affected products were last distributed to retail stores in Oregon and Washington earlier this month. The dips are packaged in clear plastic containers with Al Amir labels on their clear lids. Recalled products are listed below.
Classic Hummus Creamy Garbanzo, 8oz. UPC: 7 55134 12341 4. Best By dates up to and including 1/25/24

If you have one of these dips in your fridge and have an allergy or sensitivity to sesame or milk, the FDA urges you not to eat the product. Instead, you should throw it out or take it back to the store at which you purchased it for a full refund.
