Kroger recalls two premade pasta salads over possible Listeria contamination
What Is Listeria
The Kroger Company has issued a voluntary recall for two premade pasta salads, “Basil Pesto Bowtie Salad” and “Smoke Mozzarella Penne Salad.”
The recall is due to a possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
The affected products, manufactured by Nate’s Fine Foods, were sold at 1,860 Kroger Family of Stores locations across 28 US states between August 29 and October 2.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed that there have been no reports of illness or injury related to this recall.
Customers who purchased the recalled pasta salads are advised to either dispose of them or return them to the store for a refund.
