Walmart, Kroger recall dangerous ready-to-eat meals
Millions of people shop at Walmart and Kroger every month, and whether it's just to pick up groceries or other household essentials, they trust that the chains will offer good prices on things they need. That's why news of a recall is always distressing, throwing into question whether a store can be trusted. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter That said, it's not Walmart or Kroger's fault that a product they carried was identified for recall. Unfortunately, recalls happen all the time. Some data says that food recalls are getting more common then ever. Food recalls specifically increased by 15% between 2020 and 2024, per a Trace One analysis of data. Related: General Mills quietly discontinues three cereals fans loved While you'll be relieved to know that most food recalls are because of allergen contamination (nearly 38%), it's distressing to know that bacterial contamination is the problem in 21.8% of cases. Those recalls typically involve pathogens like salmonella, E. coli, and listeria. Now a new recall has been announced for a ready-to-eat food product that you may have bought at Walmart or Kroger. It's time to check the fridge and make sure what's inside is safe to consume. The U.S. Department of Agriculture on June 17 issued a recall of several ready-to-eat meal products made by FreshRealm, which supplies the Marketside and Home Chef lines to Walmart and Kroger. The following products are included in the recall: 32.8-oz. tray packages containing "MARKETSIDE GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH FETTUCCINE Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken and Shaved Parmesan Cheese" with best-by date 06/27/25 or prior.12.3 oz. tray packages containing "MARKETSIDE GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH FETTUCCINE Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken, Broccoli and Shaved Parmesan Cheese" with best-by date 06/26/25 or prior.12.5 oz. tray packages containing "HOME CHEF Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with pasta, grilled white meat chicken, and Parmesan cheese" with best-by date 06/19/25 or prior. According to the announcement, listeria from these products resulted in both deaths and a miscarriage. "FSIS and public health partners are investigating an outbreak of Lm that currently includes 17 ill people in 13 states," it reads. "As of June 17, 2025, there have been three reported deaths and one fetal loss associated with this outbreak." Related: Wendy's menu reveals a spicy new addition this week Several of the people who became ill purchased and consumed the chicken fettuccine alfredo products, and an outbreak strain collected from ill people between August 2024 and May 2025 also matched a sample from the ready-to-eat food in question. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) urges consumers who have purchased these products to dispose of them or return them to the store where they originally bought them. While consuming food contaminated with listeria is a fairly rare occurrence, it can be a deadly one. Every year 1,600 people are infected with listeria, and 260 people die from the infection, per the Centers for Disease Control. People who are infected with listeria may think they have a stomach bug or what's called food poisoning. The latter is correct. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, an upset stomach, and vomiting. However, if the germs that cause the infection spread through the blood and reach the brain or spinal cord, new symptoms can appear such as fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiffness in the neck, confusion, a loss of balance, and even seizures.

Chicken dishes sold at Walmart, Kroger recalled over listeria concerns
FreshRealm is recalling pre-made chicken fettuccine alfredo meals sold at Kroger and Walmart over concerns the ready-to-eat meals could possibly be contaminated with listeria, the Department of Agriculture said on Wednesday. According to a notice from the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), FreshRealm, which provides meals to retailers and food delivery services like Blue Apron and Amazon Fresh, is voluntarily recalling all chicken alfredo dishes produced before June 17 "out of an abundance of caution." The recalled products have the USDA mark of inspection on the product label and establishment numbers "EST. P-50784," "EST. P-47770," or "EST. P-47718" printed on the packaging, according to FSIS. "FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them," the agency's announcement online says. "These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase." The recalled products include: 32.8-oz. tray packages containing "MARKETSIDE GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH FETTUCCINE Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken and Shaved Parmesan Cheese" with best-by date 06/27/25 or prior. 12.3 oz. tray packages containing "MARKETSIDE GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH FETTUCCINE Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken, Broccoli and Shaved Parmesan Cheese" with best-by date 06/26/25 or prior. 12.5 oz. tray packages containing "HOME CHEF Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with pasta, grilled white meat chicken, and Parmesan cheese" with best-by date 06/19/25 or prior. Possible link to Listeria The chicken dishes could be linked to a possible outbreak strain of listeria which has been associated with three deaths and one fetal loss. Seventeen people in 13 states have also gotten sick as a result of the outbreak. FSIS is currently investigating and has not yet determined the source of contamination, according to the notice. The agency says it is working with public health partners to "identify whether a specific ingredient in the chicken fettucine alfredo may be the source of this strain of Lm." So far, the FSIS investigation has identified two ill people who said they bought chicken fettuccine alfredo products that matched the description of FreshRealm products. Two additional ill individuals purchased chicken fettuccine alfredo products that could be traced back to FreshRealm establishments, according to FSIS. Consuming food contaminated with listeria can lead to a serious infection called listeriosis, which can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, a stiff neck and other symptoms. Older adults, people with weak immune systems and pregnant women and their newborns are especially susceptible to the infection. In serious cases, listeriosis can be fatal. "People in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food," the FSIS says.

Pasta shapes and names from around the globe: How many do you know?
Pasta is more than just a staple in Italian cuisine; as the acclaimed Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini, had said, 'Life is a combination of magic and pasta.' The Italian staple is more than just a culinary delight; it's a global phenomenon with over 350 distinct shapes, each designed to enhance specific sauces and dishes. From the long, slender strands of spaghetti to the intricate twists of trofie, pasta shapes are as diverse as the cultures that created them. Here's an exploration of some notable pasta shapes and their origins. Take a look, make a run to the grocery store to buy the essentials, and cook up a storm! As they say, Pasta la vista, baby! Spaghetti Perhaps the most iconic pasta, spaghetti are long, thin, cylindrical strands. The name "spaghetti" comes from the Italian word spago, meaning "string" or "twine". Originating from Naples, they are traditionally paired with tomato-based sauces, meatballs, or seafood. Fettuccine Fettuccine are flat, thick ribbons of pasta. Their name translates to "little ribbons" in Italian. Originating from Rome and Tuscany, fettuccine is famously used in the dish Fettuccine Alfredo, where the pasta is tossed with butter and Parmesan cheese. Penne Penne are short tubes of pasta cut diagonally at both ends, resembling quills. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรด CFDs ด้วยเทคโนโลยีเทรดสุดล้ำ และ รวดเร็วกว่า IC Markets สมัคร Undo The name "penne" means "feathers" in Italian. There are two main types: penne lisce (smooth) and penne rigate (ridged). The ridged version is excellent for holding onto sauces, making it ideal for hearty dishes like Penne alla Vodka. Fusilli Fusilli are short, corkscrew-shaped pasta. The name comes from the Italian word fuso, meaning "spindle". This shape is perfect for capturing thick sauces and is often used in pasta salads. Its spiral design allows for a delightful texture in every bite. Farfalle Farfalle are bow-tie or butterfly-shaped pasta. The name "farfalle" translates to "butterflies" in Italian. Originating from the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions, they are often used in creamy dishes. A larger variation is known as farfalloni, while the miniature version is called farfalline. Orecchiette Meaning "little ears" in Italian, orecchiette are small, round, and concave pasta shapes. They hail from the Puglia region in southern Italy. Traditionally, orecchiette is served with broccoli rabe and sausage, as the shape holds the sauce and vegetables beautifully. Conchiglie Conchiglie, or "seashell" pasta, are shaped like conch shells. The name derives from the Italian word conchiglia, meaning "seashell". This shape is versatile and can be used in baked dishes, pasta salads, or with chunky sauces, as the ridges and hollow center trap the sauce well. Trofie Trofie are short, twisted pasta originating from the Liguria region. The name "trofie" is believed to come from the Genoese word trofie, meaning "to twist". They are traditionally served with pesto, as their shape allows the sauce to cling effectively. Cavatappi Cavatappi are short tubes of pasta twisted into a spiral shape. The name comes from the Italian word cavatappi, meaning "corkscrew". This shape is excellent for holding onto sauces and is often used in baked pasta dishes like macaroni and cheese. Capellini Known as "angel hair" in English, capellini are extremely thin strands of pasta. The name "capellini" translates to "little hairs". They are best paired with light sauces, broths, or simply olive oil and garlic, as their delicate nature can be overwhelmed by heavy sauces. Garganelli Garganelli are square tubes of pasta that are rolled into a cylindrical shape, resembling a quill. Originating from Emilia-Romagna, they are traditionally served with rich meat sauces, as their ridged surface holds the sauce well. Linguine Linguine, meaning "little tongues", are similar to fettuccine but narrower. Originating from the Liguria region, they are traditionally served with pesto, seafood, or light tomato sauces. Their flat shape allows them to hold sauces without overpowering the dish. Mafaldine Mafaldine are long, flat ribbons of pasta with wavy edges, resembling a frilled ribbon. Named after Princess Mafalda of Savoy, they are often paired with hearty sauces, as their shape allows for a generous coating. Pappardelle Pappardelle are wide, flat ribbons of pasta, broader than fettuccine. Their name comes from the Italian verb pappare, meaning "to gobble up". Originating from Tuscany, they are traditionally served with rich, meaty sauces like wild boar ragu. Bucatini Bucatini are long, thick strands of pasta with a hole running through the center. The name "bucatini" comes from the Italian word buco, meaning "hole". Originating from Rome, they are traditionally served with rich sauces like Amatriciana, as the hole allows the sauce to cling inside and out. Cavatelli Cavatelli are small, shell-like pasta shapes. The name comes from the Italian word cavato, meaning "hollowed out". They are often served with hearty sauces or in soups, as their shape allows them to hold sauce effectively. That's not all. Some well-known filled pastas have become popular delicacies over the years. Filled pasta, also known as stuffed pasta, is pasta that has a filling enclosed within thin pasta dough. It's a popular type of pasta in many cultures, especially in non-tropical regions of Eurasia. Some of them are: Ravioli Ravioli are square or round pockets of pasta filled with various ingredients such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. They are typically served with a simple sauce, allowing the filling to be the star of the dish. Agnolotti Agnolotti are small, square or rectangular pasta pockets filled with meat or vegetables. Originating from the Piedmont region, they are often served with a butter and sage sauce. Tortellini Tortellini are ring-shaped pasta filled with a mixture of meat, cheese, or vegetables. Originating from the Emilia-Romagna region, they are traditionally served in broth or with a cream-based sauce. Contrary to popular belief, the culture of pasta goes beyond Italy, expands to Asia, and has already earned global recognition. Some of them are: Soba (Japan) Soba are thin buckwheat noodles originating from Japan. They are traditionally served chilled with a dipping sauce or in a hot broth. Soba noodles have a distinct earthy flavor and are often enjoyed during the New Year's celebration. Udon (Japan) Udon are thick wheat noodles from Japan. They are typically served in a hot broth with various toppings like tempura, green onions, and tofu. Udon noodles are known for their chewy texture and versatility. Pho Noodles (Vietnam) Pho noodles are flat rice noodles used in the Vietnamese soup dish pho. They are made from rice flour and have a delicate texture, absorbing the flavors of the aromatic broth. Chow Fun (China) Chow fun are wide, flat rice noodles commonly used in Chinese stir-fry dishes. They are often stir-fried with beef, vegetables, and soy sauce, creating a savory and satisfying meal.
