Gelson's Hummus Recalled for Missing Storage Instructions
Gelson's Hummus products sold in Southern California are being recalled because product labels lack 'keep refrigerated' storage instructions. Consumers should discard recalled lots or ensure proper refrigeration has been maintained.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a missing labeling instruction ('keep refrigerated'), creating a theoretical risk of foodborne illness if not properly stored. No confirmed contamination or pathogenic hazard is identified, placing this in the moderate category as a labeling defect with precautionary recall nature.
