Sabra guacamole, Food Lion, Centerville Rd, Herndon, VA 20171, United States

2 years ago

I ate two dollops of sabra guacamole with a December 2020 date on the packaging. I had the guacamole on November first and within 10 minutes I was vomiting and literally vomited everything up. It was an instantaneous response. I had another package left because it was... See More BOGO there. I threw both away and will never eat that again. I presume it could have been the onions in the mix since onions have been recalled over the past few months. | Symptoms: Vomiting See Less
