An Auburn-based company is recalling some of its hummus products because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

According to the Oregonian, Penny’s Salsa recalled certain hummus products Sunday after two types of the spread tested positive for Listeria. 

The hummus was sold at QFC locations in Washington state, but the retail locations at which it was sold there were unknown as of Sunday.

Food Safety News says the recalled hummus products are marked with use-by dates of July 13 through Aug. 25, 2013.

They are sold under the Penny’s Hummus brand.

If you think you may have contracted listeriosis, contact your healthcare provider or Public Health - King County at 206-296-4600.
