Sabra Dipping Company has voluntarily recalled 30,000 cases of its Classic Hummus due to possible contamination with Listeria.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday that a routine sample of Sabra hummus collected from a store last month tested positive for the Listeria monocytogenes. So far, there has been no evidence the hummus caused anyone to become ill.

The recall is limited to five SKUs of Classic Hummus sold nationwide:

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
