ubs of hummus were removed from British supermarkets because salmonella was found at a London processing plant that makes one store’s brand.

Six major supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose, recalled their house brand hummus a day after Marks & Spencer recalled its hummus Thursday, The Telegraph reported Saturday.

The recall was ordered by the Iceland-based food company Bakkavor after tests at its factory in west London Wednesday found salmonella.

The Telegraph said a company investigation into the source of the contamination will likely focus on sesame seeds.

“Salmonella can cause food poisoning and shouldn’t be present in ready-to-eat food,” a spokesman for the Food Standards Agency told The Telegraph.

Better just make your own food at home. Eating whole foods is a simple way to avoid BAD food, as it will taste bad in its natural state if it is bad. Processing and cooking hide bad food.
