The USDA-FSIS issued a public health alert for RTE meals containing FDA regulated pre cooked pasta that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). The product is packaged in 12-oz. clear plastic tray packages labeled “MARKETSIDE LINGUINE WITH BEEF MEATBALLS & MARINARA SAUCE” with “best if used by” dates SEP 22, 2025; SEP 24, 2025; SEP 25, 2025; SEP 29, 2025; SEP 30, 2025; and OCT 01, 2025. The item was shipped to Walmart locations nationwide. The producing company collected samples of the FDA regulated, pre-cooked pasta used as an ingredient in these products as part of the ongoing investigation related to the Listeria outbreak linked to Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo meals. The test confirmed that the linguine pasta was positive for Lm, and further testing is ongoing to determine if the Lm is genetically related to the specific outbreak strain. @ https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/fsis-issues-public-health-alert-ready-eat-meals-containing-pasta-may-be-contaminated
