There were several recalls this week, but since not every recall reported by the Food and Drug Administration makes headlines, we’ve listed them for you. Here’s all the recalls that have happened [over the last week](http://time.com/3769511/food-recalls-easter/). Remember, if you’ve purchased recalled foods, you can often return it to the vendor for a full refund. **Hummus** **Brand:** Sabra **Contaminated with:** Listeria Sabra Dipping Co., LLC, the company behind Sabra hummus [recalled](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441863.htm) 30,000 cases of its classic hummus due to possible contamination with the bacteria, listeria. So far no one has reported getting sick from the hummus. **Ice cream** **Brand:** Blue Bell **Contaminated with:** Listeria Blue Bell Creameries has had a bad month. After five people in a hospital [were infected with listeria](http://time.com/3744962/ice-cream-contaminated-kansas-blue-bell-creameries/) after eating ice cream from the company (and three people died), Blue Bell has [continued to recall](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441620.htm) more and more of its ice cream after identifying listeria in more product lines. This week, they expanded the recall to include banana pudding ice cream pints. **Macadamia nuts** **Brand:** Nature’s Eats and Central Market **Contaminated with:** Salmonella Texas Star Nut and Food Co., Inc. [recalled](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441686.htm) some of its Nature’s Eats and Central Market brand macadamia nut products due to possible contamination with the bacteria salmonella. **Cumin** **Brand:** Deer **Contaminated with:** Undeclared peanuts Best Foods Inc. [recalled](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441488.htm) some of its 7-ounce and 14-ounce packages of Deer brand cumin powder because the products may contain peanuts which are not declared on the label. This could pose a serious problem for people who have peanut allergies. **Soybean sprouts** **Brand:** Henry’s Farm **Contaminated with:** Listeria Henry’s Farm Inc. of Woodford, Virgina [recalled](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441216.htm) packages of soybean sprouts that were distributed to retailers in Virginia and Maryland due to possible listeria contamination. No illnesses have been reported. **Teriyaki Salmon Jerky** **Brand:** Central Market **Contaminated with:** Undeclared soy and wheat World Wide Gourmet Foods [recalled](http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm441838.htm) 2,916 packages of Central Market Teriyaki Salmon Jerky due to undeclared soy and wheat, which is problematic for people allergic to those ingredients. _Read next:_ [_What a Massive Spinach Recall Teaches Us About Food Safety_](http://time.com/3774505/food-safety-spinach-recall/?iid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) **Correction:** The original version of this story misstated the number of cases of hummus recalled by Sabra. There were 30,000. ### 5 Foods That Taste Better in April Than They Will All Year  Ataulfo mangos: These bright yellow mangos are grown all over the world, but in April, some of the tastiest varieties come out of Mexico. Getty Images  Blackberries: “Blackberries are very prolific in Mexico in April,” says Romano. “They are very big, very plump, they have virtually no tartness to it." Getty Images  Asparagus: During April, asparagus will be nice and thick with less white to trim off the bottom. Getty Images  Artichokes: "You can see artichokes year-round, but this is by far the time to eat them," says Romano. "They're the most meaty artichokes you will have in the season and all year, and they have the biggest hearts." Getty Images  Strawberries: Strawberries are in season in April and according to Romano, some of the best-tasting strawberries will likely hit grocery store shelves in the next few weeks.
