Irving, Texas (November 23, 2016) – LSG Sky Chefs Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. (“LSG Sky Chefs”) announced today that it is issuing a voluntary recall for the Mediterranean Style Chicken with Hummus sandwiches the company produces for 7-Eleven stores. The hummus spread used in the sandwiches is subject to a national recall issued by Sabra Dipping Company due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.  All Mediterranean Style Chicken with Hummus sandwiches have already been pulled from affected 7-Eleven stores. No other products or retailers are involved in this voluntary recall.

Listeria monocytogenes, is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Consumers who purchased this sandwich at 7-Eleven between November 18, 2016 and November 20, 2016 are asked to dispose of the product or return it to 7-Eleven for a full refund. Additionally, consumers should also look for a “best buy” date of November 19, 2016 through November 21, 2016.

Approximately 241 sandwiches containing the Sabra Dipping Company hummus were produced and distributed from the LSG Sky Chefs facilities in San Jose, CA. The company also produced approximately 72 sandwiches from its Las Vegas, NV location.

The FDA and LSG Sky Chefs have received no reports of illnesses associated with this sandwich. The quality of our products and safety of our consumers is our foremost concern.  The company will continue to work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.  For more information, please call 214-368-0909 between the hours of 6:00am and 3:00pm PST.
