Overview
- The alert covers 12-ounce Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara trays with best-if-used-by dates Sept. 22, 24, 25, 29, 30 and Oct. 1, 2025, bearing EST. 50784 or EST. 47718.
- Company-collected samples of the FDA-regulated pre-cooked linguine used in the meals tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, FSIS said.
- FreshRealm said it advised Walmart to pull the items from stores; FSIS has not posted a formal recall and urges consumers to discard the meals or return them.
- Officials are investigating whether the detected Listeria is genetically linked to the earlier multistate outbreak tied to chicken fettuccine Alfredo; FreshRealm says its testing found a strain matching that outbreak, which federal labs are evaluating.
- Reporting identifies Nate’s Fine Foods of Roseville, California, as the linguine supplier, and FSIS said additional products could be added as the investigation continues.
