Sabra Dipping Company, LLC recalled Sabra Spreads Garlic Herb, 8.5OZ; UPC 040822343138, SKU301586 in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Nov 18, 2016.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Jan 18, 2017), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
