Listeria outbreak linked to frozen meals? Trader Joe's and Walmart face concerns. Health officials are investigating a concerning outbreak. Several frozen meals from both retailers are potentially contaminated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expanded the investigation. It now includes more prepared meals beyond the initial reports. At least two people have been hospitalized, with one death reported.
Walmart has issued a recall for specific heat-and-eat pasta meals. The USDA warns consumers to avoid these products due to the Listeria link. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues.
Consumers should check their freezers and discard any potentially affected meals. This situation highlights the importance of food safety recalls and vigilance.
