As a result, Loblaw Companies Limited is recalling a number of PC brand hummus flavours and dip products from marketplace shelves because they contain the toxin produced by Staphylococcus bacteria.

Consumers should not ingest the following recalled products listed below:

Food contaminated with this toxin may not look or smell spoiled. Common symptoms of Staphylococcus poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and fever. In severe cases of illness, headache, muscle cramping, and changes in blood pressure, and pulse rate may occur.
