The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is recalling O’Hanlon Herbs potted coriander and Tom & Ollie traditional hummus due to possible Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria). Listeria is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Background
How the potential presence of Listeria was found was not announced in either recall.
FSAI said that it currently believes that both recalls are unrelated to a current outbreak of Listeria connected to ready-to-eat meals or recalled spinach and mix leaves products.
Distribution
A list of retailers for the recalled hummus was not released. See below for a list of retailers connected to the recalled potted coriander.

Consumer Action
As with all food recalls, consumers are strongly advised to discontinue use of the affected product even if it looks or smells safe to eat.
Anyone in possession of the recalled product is requested to not sell, serve, donate, or distribute them.
Any consumer in possession of the recalled item should contact the place of purchase to see if it can be returned for a refund. Otherwise, the items should be disposed of immediately and safely.
Consumers should thoroughly sanitize any surface or utensils that have come into contact with the recalled products.
Health Risks
The recall notices did not say if any illnesses, adverse effects, or other reactions in connection with the consumption of the recalled products have been reported.
Listeriosis, the infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is particularly dangerous for certain vulnerable populations. Pregnant individuals, people aged 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems are at highest risk. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, sometimes preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms. In pregnant individuals, listeriosis can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery, or life-threatening infections in newborns.
Consumers with symptoms of Listeria infection from the impacted products should contact a healthcare provider immediately, says leading nationwide Listeria law firm Ron Simon & Associates.
