My father uses Listerine, so I’d assume it’s kosher. (I’ve heard
that using such mouthwashes increases risk of oral cancer.)
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. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. The company is issuing this recall out of an abundance of caution.
Eh. Seeing as no one in my family has a weakened immune
system, and we’ve already eaten some of our hummus with no
apparent effects, we’re not going to be throwing ours out.
