Frozen Meals From Kroger, Walmart Recalled After 3 Deaths
A deadly listeria food poisoning outbreak that killed 3 people and led to one pregnancy loss has been linked to several ready-to-eat chicken alfredo meals sold at Kroger and Walmart stores, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. The outbreak, which sickened 17 people across 13 states, began last August and impacts products sold under the Marketside and Home Chef brands, both of which are sold nationally at Walmart and Kroger. The following ready-to-eat chicken alfredo products were shipped to Kroger and Walmart retail locations nationwide and are included in the recall: 32.8 oz. Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine (best-by date 06/27/25 or earlier) 12.3 oz. Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine and Broccoli (best-by date 06/26/25 or earlier) 12.5 oz.

P-50784,' 'EST. P-47770,' or 'EST. P-47718' printed on the side of the packaging, according to the FSIS website. "The outbreak strain of [listeria] was isolated from ill people on dates ranging from August 2024 – May 2025," federal health officials said. "The same outbreak strain was isolated from a routine chicken fettuccine alfredo sample collected by FSIS in a FreshRealm establishment in March 2025." The FSIS warns against consuming the ready-to-eat meals and instead urges customers to throw out or return all recalled products to avoid contracting the disease. Consumers with questions regarding the recall can call FreshRealm's customer service line at 888-244-1562.

Warning over popular chicken fettuccine Alfredo meal linked to deadly listeria outbreak
A deadly listeria outbreak has been linked to pre-packaged chicken fettuccine alfredo sold at major US retailers. An outbreak has claimed three lives and resulted in one pregnancy loss, federal health officials have confirmed. The widespread contamination has affected at least 17 individuals across 13 states, with cases dating back to last August. FreshRealm, a large food producer with sites in California, Georgia and Indiana, is recalling products made before June 17. The recall includes these products, which were shipped to retail stores: — 32.8-ounce trays of Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken and Shaved Parmesan Cheese with best-by dates of June 27 or earlier. — 12.3-ounce trays of Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken, Broccoli and Shaved Parmesan Cheese with best-by dates of June 26 or earlier. — 12.5-ounce trays of Home Chef Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Pasta, Grilled White Meat Chicken and Parmesan Cheese, with best-by dates of June 19 or earlier. The strain of listeria bacteria tied to the outbreak has been detected in sick people from August through May, health officials said. The same strain that made people sick was found in a sample of chicken fettucine alfredo during a routine inspection in March. That product was destroyed and never sent to stores. Officials said they have not identified the specific source of the contamination. What you need to know about listeria According to the CDC Officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency is investigating the outbreak, and planned to release more details. It was not clear which states are involved or where the deaths and pregnancy loss occurred. Consumers shouldn't eat the products, which may be in their refrigerators or freezers. They should be thrown away or returned to place of purchase. Listeria infections can cause serious illness, particularly in older adults, people with weakened immune systems and those who are pregnant or their newborns. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. About 1,600 people get sick each year from listeria infections and about 260 die, the CDC said. Federal officials in December said they were revamping protocols to prevent listeria infections after several high-profile outbreaks, including one linked to Boar's Head deli meats that led to 10 deaths and more than 60 illnesses last year.

Deadly listeria outbreak linked to chicken dishes in the US: Alfredo fettuccine sold at Walmart, Kroger recalled
A listeria food poisoning outbreak that has killed three people in Illinois, Michigan, and Texas, and led to one pregnancy loss, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is linked to newly recalled heat-and-eat chicken fettuccine alfredo products sold at Kroger and Walmart stores, federal officials announced. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The outbreak, which includes at least 17 people in 13 states, began last July, as per federal health officials. At least 16 people have been hospitalized. What happened? The food company, FreshRealm, voluntarily recalled several varieties of its ready-to-eat chicken fettuccine Alfredo meals—sold under Walmart's Marketside brand and Kroger's Home Chef line—following a nationwide Listeria monocytogenes outbreak. The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) confirmed a matching Listeria strain in both sick individuals and a product sample collected during a March 2025 inspection. What products have been recalled? FreshRealm issued a high-priority (Class I) recall covering all relevant pre-packaged chicken Alfredo meals produced before June 17, 2025, carrying USDA establishment numbers P‑50784, P‑47770, or P‑47718. Key product lines recalled include: Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine (32.8 oz) – Best‑by June 27 or earlier Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli (12.3 oz) – Best‑by June 26 or earlier Home Chef Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (12.5 oz) – Best‑by June 19 or earlier FreshRealm said that it asked both Walmart and Kroger to remove the products from their shelves and advised their customers to throw them away or return them for a refund. 'FreshRealm remains committed to the highest standards of food safety,' the company said in a statement. Consumers are advised to dispose of any chicken Alfredo meals from Marketside or Home Chef brands with the above establishment numbers and best‑by dates, even if frozen. Consumers can opt for a return for a full refund at Walmart or Kroger. Tracing the contamination: A routine sampling in March 2025 captured the outbreak strain in a production sample—which was destroyed before distribution—but matched those found in ill individuals. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now FSIS investigators also traced the outbreak using purchase records and consumer interviews. Two patients confirmed buying the implicated meals, while others described identical products. However, the specific contamination source (e.g. , raw chicken, sauce, pasta) is still under investigation. What is a listeria outbreak ? A listeria outbreak is a situation where two or more people get sick from eating food contaminated with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. This can happen when food is processed, prepared, or stored in unsanitary conditions. Listeria outbreaks are typically identified when multiple individuals experience similar illnesses after consuming the same potentially contaminated food. Listeria can be particularly dangerous for pregnant women, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can range from mild, like fever and diarrhea, to severe, including meningitis or sepsis, especially in vulnerable populations. Listeria can be transmitted through contaminated food, and outbreaks are often linked to ready-to-eat foods like deli meats, soft cheeses, and smoked seafood. Proper food handling, including cooking to safe temperatures and avoiding high-risk foods, is crucial to prevent listeriosis.

Ready-to-eat chicken fettuccine Alfredo products voluntarily recalled due to listeria concerns
Ready-to-eat grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo products that were sold at Walmart and Kroger have been voluntarily recalled due to possible listeria contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Tuesday. Food manufacturer FreshRealm's establishments in San Clemente, California; Montezuma, Georgia; and Indianapolis, Indiana, are voluntary recalling the prepared pasta dishes because they "may be adulterated with an outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes," the FSIS stated. The recalled products may be linked to a multistate outbreak of listeria infections across 13 states that has sickened 17 people and resulted in at least three deaths in Illinois, Michigan and Texas as of this week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One "pregnancy associated illness resulted in a fetal loss," the agency said Wednesday. Details of chicken fettuccine Alfredo recall Three products are affected by the recall. According to FreshRealm, the meals were sold nationwide "at Walmart, under the Marketside brand and Kroger, under the Home Chef brand." The affected products include: 32.8-ounce 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 dates of June 27, 2025, or prior. 12.3-ounce 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 dates of June 26, 2025, or prior. 12.5-ounce tray packages containing "HOME CHEF Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with pasta, grilled white meat chicken, and Parmesan cheese," with best-by dates of June 19, 2025, or prior. The products have a USDA mark of inspection on the label, as well as establishment numbers EST. P-50784, EST. P-47770 or EST. P-47718 printed on the side of the packaging, the FSIS said this week. "FreshRealm has notified Walmart and Kroger to remove this meal from their shelves and inventory. Consumers who have purchased the meal should destroy it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund," FreshRealm stated in a press release Wednesday, adding that the company "remains committed to the highest standards of food safety" and is "working closely" with the Food and Drug Administration, FSIS and CDC "to provide full transparency and access throughout the process." The recall does not apply to any other FreshRealm products, the company said. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact FreshRealm customer service at (888) 244-1562. Details of the multistate listeria outbreak The outbreak strain of listeria was identified in samples collected from sick individuals between Aug. 1, 2024, and May 27, 2025. State and local public health officials interviewed 11 people about the foods they consumed in the month before they got sick, and seven reported eating pre-cooked meals, with four stating specifically that they had eaten chicken fettucine Alfredo products. The outbreak strain of listeria was isolated from a routine chicken fettuccine Alfredo sample collected by FSIS in a FreshRealm establishment in March 2025. The agency noted that "the lot of chicken fettuccine alfredo represented by this sample was held during sampling, destroyed, and never entered commerce," and "subsequent investigations at the establishment that produced this product, and into the product ingredients, have not identified the source of contamination." In its press release Wednesday, FreshRealm stated that it "has not received any direct reports of illness associated with the product and has received information on cases from the regulatory agencies, including that four consumers have reported eating the chicken alfredo product." "The recalled product has not been established as a cause of any of these cases," the company said. Of the 17 people sickened by the outbreak strain of listeria, 16 were hospitalized. According to the CDC, the "true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely higher than the number reported," and the outbreak "may not have been limited to the states with known illnesses ... because some people recover without medical care and are not tested for Listeria." "In addition, recent illnesses may not yet be reported as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak," the CDC stated. What to know about listeria and its symptoms Listeria is a bacteria that when ingested can cause an infection known as listeriosis, according to the CDC. The condition is most dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, people with weakened immune systems and adults 65 or older, the agency said. For people who are pregnant, being infected by listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. According to the CDC, an estimated 1,600 people get listeriosis annually in the U.S. and about 260 people die from it.

FDA Announces a Massive Egg Recall in Multiple States — Here's the Most Important Thing to Know
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Following recalls of cucumbers and tomatoes, eggs have now been added to the list due to concerns of potential Salmonella infection. Similar to the other contamination recalls, this revocation encompasses a large amount of eggs, spanning many states and distributors. Below, we've broken down everything you need to know about the August Egg Company recall. On June 6, 2025, of 1,700,000 dozen brown eggs in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This wide-ranging recall encompasses 29 different egg products from at least nine different distributors, including Walmart, Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs. While each recalled product has a different Universal Product Code (UPC), the carton will also contain one of two plant codes: P-6562 or CA-5330 — which can be used to help identify a recalled batch. Here's the full list of recalled eggs: Clover Organic Large Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 070852010427 First Street Cage Free Large Brown Loose, 1 Case (150 Eggs) UPC: 041512039638 Nulaid Medium Brown Cage Free, 12 Eggs UPC: 071230021042 Nulaid Jumbo Brown Cage Free, 12 Eggs UPC: 071230021011 O Organics Cage Free Large Brown, 6 Eggs UPC: 079893401522 O Organics Large Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 079893401508 O Organics Large Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 079893401546 Marketside Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 681131122771 Marketside Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 681131122801 Marketside Large Cage Free Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 681131122764 Marketside Large Cage Free Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 681131122795 Raley's Large Cage Free Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 046567033310 Raley's Large Cage Free Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 046567040325 Raley's Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 046567028798 Raley's Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 046567040295 Simple Truth Medium Brown Cage Free, 18 Eggs UPC: 011110099327 Simple Truth Large Brown Cage Free, 18 Eggs UPC: 011110873743 Sun Harvest Organic Cage Free Large Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 041512131950 Sun Harvest Organic Cage Free Large Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 041512145162 Sunnyside Large Brown Cage Free, 12 Eggs UPC: 717544211747 Sunnyside Large Brown Cage Free, 18 Eggs UPC: 717544211754 Sunnyside Organic Cage Free Large Brown, 12 Eggs UPC: 717544201441 Sunnyside Organic Cage Free Large Brown, 18 Eggs UPC: 717544211761 Loose Small Brown Cage Free, 1 Box = 6 Flats (1 Flat = 30 Eggs) Loose Medium Brown Cage Free, 1 Box = 6 Flats (1 Flat = 30 Eggs) Loose Medium Brown Organic, 1 Box = 6 Flats (1 Flat = 30 Eggs) Loose Large Brown Organic, 1 Box = 6 Flats (1 Flat = 30 Eggs) Loose Jumbo Brown Cage Free, 1 Box = 5 Flats (1 Flat = 20 Eggs) Loose Jumbo Brown Organic, 1 Box = 5 Flats (1 Flat = 20 Eggs) The contaminated eggs were distributed in nine states, many of which are located in the American Southwest. Arizona California Illinois Indiana Nebraska New Mexico Nevada Washington Wyoming The recall stems from a potential Salmonella contamination at August Egg Company's California plant. 'It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens," said the August Egg Company in a statement. Salmonella is a bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract, often causing diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and chills. In severe cases, Salmonella can also lead to death. The infection is most commonly spread through contaminated food or water. In the case of eggs, infected chickens may pass on Salmonella before the shell of their egg is formed, meaning the shell is not able to protect against the disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there has been 79 cases of illnesses, 21 of which resulted in hospitalization. To confirm whether or not you have one of the recalled products, refer to our list above that names the 29 egg items being revoked. If you have one of the items on the list, check the plant number and UPC, located on the side of the carton. The recalled eggs will have a plant number of P-6562 or CA-5330. UPC codes can be referenced using the above list. You'll also want to pay attention to the sell-by date. Recalled eggs distributed at Walmart will have a sell-by date between March 4, 2025, and June 19, 2025. Eggs from the eight other named distributors will have a sell-by date between March 4, 2025, and June 4, 2025. After confirming the noted information, August Egg Company is advising customers to return the eggs to their place of purchase for a full refund. For additional questions, the brand suggests reaching out to their Customer Service line at 1-800-710-2554.
