If you have chicken fettuccine Alfredo in your refrigerator, you might have to throw it out. FreshRealm is recalling three varieties of its ready-to-eat chicken fettuccine alfredo products due to Listeria concerns. According to Consumer Reports, federal agencies have already linked the listeria outbreak to three deaths, one fetal loss, and 17 illnesses across 13 states. The products include:
- 12.3-ounce Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine (sold at Walmart)
- 32.8-ounce Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine (sold at Walmart)
- 12.5-ounce Home Chef Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (sold at Kroger)
On the packaging, the “best by dates” are all June 27th, and earlier Wal-Mart and Kroger, which is the parent company of Pick ‘n Save, have locations in Sturgeon Bay. This is the second time this year the USDA has discovered listeria at the FreshRealm facility that produces the products, previously doing so in March. Fever, muscle aches, headaches, stiff necks, confusion, loss of balance, and diarrhea are all symptoms of listeriosis and, in some cases, require antibiotics to treat. You are advised to throw out the products or return them to the store for a full refund.
