Overview
- Federal updates list 27 confirmed illnesses across 18 states, including 25 hospitalizations and a pregnancy‑associated fetal loss.
- Dozens of ready-to-eat pasta meals and salads sold by Trader Joe’s, Kroger, Walmart, Albertsons, Sprouts, Giant Eagle and others have been recalled.
- Recalls span both deli items and frozen products, including Scott & Jon’s shrimp scampi bowls with best‑by dates in March 2027.
- Illnesses date to August 2024, with the most recent confirmed onset on Oct. 16, 2025, and investigators say more linked products or cases may emerge.
- Health officials urge consumers to throw away recalled items and clean refrigerators and surfaces because Listeria can survive and spread in cold environments.
