Refrigerated dips, hummus and deli tubs

Choose a sealed in-date product kept cold, use clean utensils and follow the short after-opening storage instruction.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Avoid communal bowls that have sat out, damaged tubs and recalled products. Homemade dips need clean preparation, properly stored ingredients and prompt refrigeration.

What changes the answer

  • Whether every ingredient is pasteurised or cooked through
  • How the food was chilled, stored, handled and reheated
  • The exact species, product label, recall or contamination warning

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
