Overview

  • The alert targets 12-ounce Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara Sauce shipped nationwide with best-if-used-by dates of Sept. 22, 24, 25, 29, 30, and Oct. 1, 2025.
  • Packages bear establishment numbers EST. 50784 or EST. 47718 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  • FSIS says lab testing confirmed Listeria monocytogenes in the linguine ingredient and urges consumers to discard the meals or return them to the store.
  • FreshRealm, the producer, says the detected strain matches the one tied to the earlier outbreak, while federal labs continue confirmatory genomic testing.
  • FSIS is coordinating with FDA, CDC, and state partners, warning additional products could be added as the probe continues; the June investigation reported 17 illnesses, three deaths, and one fetal loss linked to recalled Alfredo meals.
