Hummus maker Sabra saw a 32.4% drop in sales during the 1st quarter of 2022 after the company temporarily halted manufacturing at its Virginia plant to implement production adjustments due to the 2021 salmonella recall. As a result, Sabra’s market share fell from 61.7% in 1st-quarter 2021 to 45.8% a year later.
In March 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered that a tub of Sabra’s 10-ounce Classic Hummus had been contaminated with salmonella during a sampling at retail. In response, Sabra recalled that product. After the FDA and a state regulatory agency inspected the hummus plant, they found several violations of Current Good Food Manufacturing Practices and Preventive Controls rules.
