According to several federal health agencies, there is an ongoing prepared pasta recall which has now caused six deaths and more than 25 hospitalizations, with seemingly no end in sight.

Fox Business reports that this particular listeria outbreak stems back to March of 2025, when the USDA found the bacteria in a random sample of FreshRealm chicken fettuccine alfredo.

FreshRealm then discovered the same strain of bacteria in some of their dishes that used their linguini.

Here's the major issue, though: FreshRealm doesn't supply their dishes to the public.

instead, they supply their dishes and their ingredients to grocery stores and other food outlets, including Nate's Fine Foods Inc., which then repackage them into new prepared dishes.

There are several major grocery outlets where these dishes are sold as well: Kroger, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Albertsons and Giant Eagle.

To simplify everything, here is the full and updated list of the exact food items recalled that could be deadly, if consumed.

Here's how serious this recall is:

If it has yet to grab your attention -- there are three different federal agencies working on this one listeria outbreak: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)

As of Oct. 30, 27 people across 18 states have been infected with listeriosis, with 25 going to the hospital and six dying

In addition, one pregnancy-associated illness resulted in a fetal loss.

The reported deaths occurred in Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, Texas and Utah.

In this case, and most, you are instructed to bring the item back to the store you bought it from for a full refund, or simply discard the product.
