Ready-to-eat chicken fettuccine alfredo products have been recalled after being linked to a listeria outbreak blamed for three deaths and the loss of a fetus.
FreshRealm on Tuesday recalled several items ‘that may be adulterated with an outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm)’.
The Lm outbreak has affected 17 people in 13 US states and as of Tuesday, there were three reported deaths and one fetal loss tied to it, according to a public health agency working to prevent foodborne illness. The outbreak strain was found in people who got sick from August 2024 to May of this year.
A few months ago in March, the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) collected samples of the chicken fettuccini alfredo as part of a routine check. Inspectors discovered the same outbreak strain.
‘The lot of chicken fettuccine alfredo represented by this sample was held during sampling, destroyed, and never entered commerce,’ stated the FSIS in its announcement on Wednesday.
Inspectors further examined product ingredients at the company’s facilities and have not found the source of the contamination.
