Carrot Top Kitchens Recalls Lemon & Garlic Hummus Over Undeclared Sesame

What Happened

Carrot Top Kitchens LLC has voluntarily initiated a recall of its Lemon & Garlic Hummus. The recall was issued because the product contains sesame, an allergen that was not declared on the packaging label. This Class I recall was initiated by the firm on January 6, 2026.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall affects a specific batch of hummus distributed in New York. Details include:

• Product Name: Carrot Top Kitchens Lemon & Garlic Hummus

• Code Information: “enjoy or freeze by 08/10/2025”
• Quantity: 12 units
• Recall Number: H-0485-2026

What You Should Do

Consumers who have purchased the affected 8 oz. Lemon & Garlic Hummus and have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame should not consume the product. Although the recall status is currently listed as terminated as of February 19, 2026, consumers are encouraged to check their freezers for any remaining units matching the “enjoy or freeze by” date of 08/10/2025.

Why This Matters

Sesame is recognized as a major food allergen. For individuals with a sesame allergy, consumption of this product poses a risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions. The FDA has classified this as a Class I recall, indicating a high level of potential health risk.
