Walmart Shoppers Warned as Nationwide Pasta Recall Expands
The updated alert impacting the frozen pasta comes amid heightened fears and attention to foodborne illnesses and recalls.
Walmart customers are being warned as a nationwide pasta recall expands, according to an alert from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Gias Foods, Inc. has recalled all lot code numbers of Bettergoods brand Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine due to potential contamination with listeria. The recalled product, packaged in 22-ounce yellow plastic with a UPC number of 194346442706, was distributed to Walmart stores across the country.
Although no illnesses have been reported, listeria is a dangerous bacterium that can cause severe infections, especially in those with weakened immune systems, older adults, and children. The FDA describes this as a Class I recall, indicating a serious risk of adverse health consequences or death. Walmart has removed the product from their stores and online platforms, urging customers to discontinue use and follow recall instructions. For further information, customers are directed to contact Gias Foods, Inc. or Walmart.
