The week prior to the holiday weekend has been rife with food recalls, virus outbreaks and warnings against possible food-borne illnesses. It also precedes one of the country’s biggest barbecue weekends: Memorial Day.
Sprouts, walnuts, hummus and ground beef have all been recalled this week either due to possible contamination from E. coli or Lysteria. E. coli is an intestinal bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illnesses in humans.
Symptoms can include abdominal pain and diarrhea. Lysteria is a type of food poisoning that most affects pregnant women and children. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches and nausea but can become more severe if the infection spreads to the nervous system.

Hummus is a dip..I do not like the taste of most hummus.so some people do it it all the time..
If I have to eat chickpeas, I suppose hummus is the preferred way, but I would not go out of my way for it.
Me too!!!My husband loves hummus..
I don’t get it ;)
I’m having pickled ramps, pretty tasty.
Ramps are good.

I don’t like chickpeas the main ingredient in hummus.but if I had to eat them it would be as hummus with its garlic and other ingredients.
