USA Today • • business
Key Points:
- Walmart has expanded a nationwide recall of frozen pasta sold under its exclusive Bettergoods brand due to potential contamination with listeria bacteria, initially identified on Sept. 15 and broadened on Oct. 1 to include all lots from manufacturer Gias Foods, Inc.
- The recalled product is Bettergoods frozen Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine in 22-ounce yellow plastic containers, sold at Walmart stores nationwide, with all lot codes affected.
- Consumers are advised not to eat the recalled pasta and can return it to Walmart for a full refund; questions can be directed to Gias Foods via email.
- Listeria infection can cause severe illness or death, particularly in children, older adults, pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems, with symptoms ranging from fever and muscle aches to miscarriage and neurological issues.
- Symptoms typically appear within two weeks of consuming contaminated food but can emerge from the same day up to 10 weeks later; high-risk individuals experiencing flu-like symptoms after consumption should seek immediate medical care.
