Overview

  • Kroger pulled its Basil Pesto Bowtie Salad and Smoked Mozzarella Penne Salad sold Aug. 29 to Oct. 2 at 1,860 stores across its family of banners.
  • The salads were prepared with pre-cooked pasta from Nate’s Fine Foods of Roseville, California, identified in the ongoing federal investigation.
  • Fresh Creative Foods initiated the recall after supplier notification, and Kroger reports no illnesses linked to these specific salads to date.
  • Regulators cite a broader ready-to-eat pasta outbreak under CDC and FDA review, with related recalls at Walmart, Trader Joe’s, Albertsons and Giant Eagle.
  • Consumers should not eat the recalled items, should return or discard them, sanitize containers and surfaces, and consult a clinician if higher-risk individuals develop symptoms.
