USDA Issues Health Alert for Two HelloFresh Ready Meals After Spinach Tests Positive for Listeria

Officials expect to identify more affected products connected to a wider supply‑chain outbreak under federal investigation.

Overview

  • FSIS named two items produced by FreshRealm — Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta and Unstuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey — after the spinach ingredient tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
  • The listed lots include Est. 47718 lot 49107 or Est. 2937 lot 48840 for the pasta, and P-47718 lots 50069, 50073, or 50698 for the turkey dish.
  • HelloFresh said it directly notified customers who may have received the meals shipped between September 6 and October 9 and urged them to discard or return the products.
  • No illnesses have been reported from these HelloFresh meals; consumers are advised to throw them away and to wash and sanitize any surfaces that may have contacted the food.
  • The alert follows a broader listeria investigation tied to FreshRealm’s supply chain, with earlier genetic links to pasta from Nate’s Fine Foods associated with about 20 illnesses and four deaths.
