FDA Recalls Popular Pasta Salad Over Listeria Concerns
Sprouts shoppers are advised to be aware of a recent recall affecting the store's ready-to-eat pasta salad products.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice that Sprouts Farmers Market is recalling their Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad due to Listeria concerns.
A supplier, Fresh Creative Foods, informed the retailer of the potential contamination after learning that a pasta ingredient manufactured by Nate's Fine Foods in California may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal infection.
- For most people, symptoms may be mild, such as fever, headache, and nausea.
- However, listeriosis can be particularly dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
- In severe cases, it can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth in pregnant people.
If you believe you have an impacted product, do not eat it.
