Nine different ready-to-eat pasta dishes sold at popular grocery chains have been recalled due to Listeria contamination.
The recalled products have been found in 18 states and are linked to six deaths, 25 hospitalizations and 27 illnesses.
The contaminated pastas were sold at grocers such as Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joe's, Kroger and Albertsons, and were supplied by Nate's Fine Foods Inc.
The pre-cooked pasta meals tested positive for contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness, particularly among more vulnerable populations like the elderly and pregnant women.
The recalled products include:
Albertsons Store-Made Deli Pasta Salads with sell-by dates from Sept. 8, 2025, to Oct. 4, 2025
Giant Eagle Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad with expir
