According to an announcement shared by the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), these ready-to-eat products are being recalled over potential listeria contamination.
Following a listeria outbreak that is currently impacting 17 ill people across 13 states and is associated with three reported deaths and one fetal loss, FreshRealm is recalling all of its products produced prior to June 17th 'out of an abundance of caution.'In an investigation of the outbreak, FSIS found that it started during August of last year and through May of this year. In March, that outbreak strain was isolated and resulted in further investigations.
So far though, FSIS has not identified what exact ingredient caused the outbreak. However, FSIS used purchase records to trace the products to FreshRealm establishments.
Because listeria can cause serious illness or infection in older adults, those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns, it's important to be aware and double check your freezer or refrigerator to see if you have any of these affected products. Symptoms of listeria can include fever, headaches and gastrointestinal symptoms, and can also cause miscarriages in pregnant women or even life-threatening infections in newborns.
FSIS says that the following products as being impacted by this recall:
32.8-ounce trays of Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken and Shaved Parmesan Cheese
12.3-ounce trays of Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine Tender Pasta with Creamy Alfredo Sauce, White Meat Chicken, Broccoli and Shaved Parmesan Cheese
12.5-ounce trays of Home Chef Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with pasta, grilled white meat chicken, and Parmesan cheese
Consumers will be able to identify if they have any of these products in a few key ways.
First, these will all have a USDA mark of inspection on the product label. Additionally, each will have the following establishment numbers: EST. P-50784, EST-P47770 or EST. P-47718. These can be found on the side of the packaging.
Each will also have specific best-by dates. The 32.8 ounce trays will have a best-by date of June 27th of this year or prior, the 12.3 ounce trays will have a best-by date of June 26th or prior and the 12.5 ounce trays will have a best-by date of June 19th or prior.
FSIS advises, if shoppers do find that they have one of these products, throwing them away ASAP. Or, they can be returned at the original place of purchase.This Popular Item Sold at Walmart Was Just Recalled Nationwide—Here's What You Need to Know first appeared on Parade on Jun 19, 2025

What to know about listeria and its symptoms Listeria is a type of bacteria that can cause an infection called listeriosis, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The condition is most dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, people with weakened immune systems and adults 65 or older, the agency states. For people who are pregnant, listeriosis can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. Symptoms of intestinal listeriosis are typically mild and include diarrhea and vomiting, according to the CDC. A more severe type of listeriosis, invasive listeriosis, occurs when listeria spreads beyond the intestines. Symptoms of invasive listeriosis -- which can include a fever and flu-like symptoms including fatigue and muscle aches as well as headaches, confusion and loss of balance -- typically start within two weeks after eating contaminated food. The CDC estimates that approximately 1,600 people get listeriosis in the U.S. each year, and about 260 die from it.

Nationwide Bacon Recall as FSIS Issues Warning
More than 360,000 pounds of turkey bacon products have been recalled over a possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Kraft Heinz Foods Company, based in South Carolina, issued its recall on July 2 for various products sent to retail locations nationwide. Some products were also shipped to the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong. Newsweek contacted Kraft Heinz Food Company for comment by email outside regular working hours. FSIS has issued a Class I risk classification for the recall, the most serious category. The classification means a "health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death." Listeria infection, or listeriosis, may lead to a range of symptoms in infected individuals. For those experiencing less severe infections, symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which often last between one and three days, according to the Food and Drug Administration. For more severe and potentially life-threatening infections, symptoms may include headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Severe infections are particularly dangerous for newborns, adults over age 65 and those with weakened immune systems. The recall affects about 367,812 pounds of fully cooked turkey bacon products produced between April 24 and June 11. The affected products include these: Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon Original in 12-ounce vacuum-packed packages with use-by dates ranging from July 18 to August 2, 2025; the UPC 071871548601; and the lot code Mayer Turkey Bacon Original in 36-ounce packages containing three 12-ounce vacuum-packed packages with use-by dates ranging from July 23 to September 4, 2025; the UPC code 071871548748; and lot codes RS19, RS40 and Mayer Turkey Bacon Original in 48-ounce packages containing four 12-ounce vacuum-packed packages with use-by dates ranging from July 18 to September 4, 2025; the UPC code 071871548793; and lot codes RS19, RS40 and RS42. The issue was discovered after the company's laboratory testing indicated possible contamination with the bacteria. As of July 2, there were no confirmed reports of adverse reactions connected to the consumption of the affected products. Haley F. Oliver, a professor of food science at Purdue University, previously told Newsweek: "Listeria monocytogenes is a common microorganism that can be found in the natural environment, for example in soil. There are many factors that determine if someone gets listeriosis-a listeria infection. In most instances, an immunocompromised person, so young, old, pregnant or otherwise immunocompromised, must eat contaminated food. The number of bacteria resulting in infection and the amount of time before illness varies considerably. Symptoms vary among people but can include fever, flu-like symptoms, headache, stiff neck, confusion and loss of balance." Mary O'Riordan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School, previously told Newsweek: "Listeria has an unusual capacity to grow at refrigerated temperatures. Although the bacterium can contaminate many types of food, cheeses or deli meats that are kept in cold storage for long periods in stores or at home, are a place where listeria can keep growing." She added: "Early symptoms of listeria infection look similar to other common foodborne infections, including fever, diarrhea and vomiting, so it's often not diagnosed right away. Unfortunately, sometimes listeria can spread into the brain and cause more serious illness, like meningitis. In those cases, if people experience headache, stiff neck or confusion, they should seek urgent medical attention." The FDA said on its website: "Pregnant women and their unborn or newborn baby, adults over the age of 65, and those with weakened immune systems, are all considered to be high-risk groups that are susceptible to the serious and adverse effects of listeriosis." The recall is listed as active, according to FSIS. The agency advises people in higher risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months of eating contaminated food to seek medical care. Consumers who may have purchased the affected products are urged to throw them away or return them to their place of purchase.
