Carrot Top Kitchens Recalls Lime Ginger Hummus Over Undeclared Sesame Allergen

What Happened

Carrot Top Kitchens LLC has voluntarily initiated a recall of its Lime Ginger Hummus. The recall was triggered because the product contains sesame, an allergen that was not declared on the product packaging. The FDA has designated this as a Class I recall, the most serious category of recall.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall affects a specific batch of hummus distributed in New York. Details include:

• Product Name: Carrot Top Kitchens Lime Ginger Hummus
• Size: 8 oz. containers
• Ingredients: Chickpeas, tahini, fresh ginger, lime juice & zest, salt
• Code Information: “enjoy or freeze by 08/10/2025”
• Quantity: 12 units
• Recall Number: H-0489-2026

What You Should Do

Consumers who have purchased the affected Lime Ginger Hummus and have an allergy or sensitivity to sesame are urged not to consume the product. Although the recall status is currently listed as terminated by the FDA, consumers should check their refrigerators or freezers for any remaining units matching the “enjoy or freeze by” date of 08/10/2025. Affected products should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.

Why This Matters

Undeclared allergens pose a significant health risk to sensitive individuals. Sesame is recognized as a major food allergen, and its consumption by those with an allergy can lead to serious or life-threatening allergic reactions.
