FDA Recall: Carrot Top Kitchens Hummus Varieties for Potential or Undeclared Allergen – Sesame

Carrot Top Kitchens • January 07, 2026

Carrot Top Kitchens Hummus Recall Over Undeclared Sesame Allergen

Check your fridge: Carrot Top Kitchens has voluntarily recalled five 8-ounce hummus varieties because sesame (from tahini) is missing from the ingredient label. Anyone with a sesame allergy or severe sensitivity could experience a life-threatening reaction. If you purchased any affected containers, do not eat the hummus—return it for a refund or discard it immediately.

Carrot Top Kitchens Products Included in the Recall

  • Lemon Garlic Hummus – 8 oz (226 g) plastic container
  • Lime Ginger Hummus – 8 oz (226 g) plastic container
  • White Truffle Hummus – 8 oz (226 g) plastic container
  • Sundried Tomato & Caper Hummus – 8 oz (226 g) plastic container

Where Was the Recalled Hummus Sold?

The recalled hummus reached consumers through:

  • Rochambeau Farm Store in Bedford, NY
  • Multiple farmers markets across Connecticut

Why the Carrot Top Kitchens Recall Was Issued

Sesame-based tahini was used in the recipes but was inadvertently left off the ingredient panel. Because sesame became the ninth major U.S. allergen under the 2021 FASTER Act, it must be clearly declared on food labels as of January 1, 2023.

Health Risks of Undeclared Sesame

Consuming undeclared sesame can cause reactions ranging from hives and vomiting to life-threatening anaphylaxis in allergic individuals. No illnesses have been reported as of the FDA publish date (January 7, 2026).
