By News Desk on June 18, 2025

A Listeria monocytogenes outbreak linked to chicken fettuccine alfredo products from FreshRealm has sickened 17 people across 13 states, leading to a recall of all products produced before June 17, 2025, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The outbreak has been associated with three deaths and one fetal loss.

The recalled products, distributed to Kroger and Walmart retail locations nationwide under various brand names, were produced at FreshRealm establishments in San Clemente, CA, Montezuma, GA, and Indianapolis, IN.

FSIS is concerned that some recalled products may remain in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers.
