US Edition6 dead, 25 hospitalized in listeria outbreak linked to precooked pasta meals
The outbreak has caused 27 illnesses, including seven deaths and one fetal loss, with 25 hospitalizations reported across 18 states, health officials said.
- Nate's Fine Foods, Inc. recalled products in September 2025 after the FDA reported 27 infections across 18 states, with 25 hospitalizations and six deaths.
- Traceback work found contaminated precooked pasta supplied by Nate's Fine Foods, Inc. used in pasta salads, frozen meals and deli products, with Listeria monocytogenes detected in a pasta sample.
- Products sold at major retailers include Trader Joe's, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Giant Eagle, with some packages like Scott & Jon's 9.6-ounce shrimp scampi carrying use-by dates into 2027.
- Pregnant people, newborns, people over 65, and immunocompromised people face higher risk, and the Centers for Disease Control said, "Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback data show that prepared meals containing pasta are contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes and are making people sick."
- Federal agencies say the probe is ongoing and consumers should return or discard recalled meals, clean surfaces, and contact Nate's Fine Foods at 916-677-7303 or USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 888-MPHotline for safety questions.
