Death Tolls Rise as Listeria-Contaminated Pasta Recall Expands Nationwide
The Listeria-contaminated pasta recall involves nine products linked to six deaths and 25 hospitalizations across 18 states, prompting consumer warnings from health authorities.
- Last week, nine ready-to-eat pasta dishes were recalled after contamination was found in products sold at Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joe's, Kroger and Albertsons supplied by Nate's Fine Foods Inc.
- Testing found pre-cooked pasta meals positive for Listeria monocytogenes, and the CDC, FDA, and USDA are investigating the outbreak as officials piece together the source.
- The list of affected items includes multiple store-branded pasta salads and prepared meals, such as Trader Joe's Cajun Style Blackened Chicken Breast Fettuccine Alfredo and Kroger Deli Bowtie and Penne Pasta Salads, found in 18 states and linked to six deaths, 25 hospitalizations, and 27 illnesses.
- Consumers are urged to check refrigerators and freezers and immediately discard contaminated products, and the FDA says the products may no longer be sold in stores but could remain in customers' refrigerators.
- With investigators still piecing cases together, officials warn delays can be deadly, and Teresa Murray of the US Public Interest Research Group urges making recall checks a weekly routine.
