Overview

  • Kroger pulled its Basil Pesto Bowtie Salad and Smoked Mozzarella Penne Salad from deli counters and grab‑n‑go cases at 1,860 stores across 28 states.
  • Federal notices say no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled Kroger salads, which have been removed from shelves and flagged to customers.
  • Kroger was notified Sept. 26 of a bowtie pasta recall from supplier Nate’s Fine Foods, with an Oct. 1 expansion to additional dates and penne pasta, according to Fresh Creative Foods.
  • The supplier action is part of a wider multistate listeria outbreak that federal officials attribute to about 20 illnesses and four deaths across roughly 15 states.
  • Publix and Walmart reported related recalls of Scott & Jon’s shrimp scampi with linguini, as FDA and CDC teams continue sequencing and supply‑chain traceback; consumers are urged to discard or return recalled items for refunds.
