Two more deaths tied to a ready-to-eat pasta recall over listeria contamination have been reported by the FDA. In an update to the major recall on Thursday, October 30, the agency states that the CDC has discovered a total of 7 new illnesses from 3 states as of September 25, 2025. This brings the total number of deaths due to this listeria outbreak to 6 and the number of people who have been hospitalized in connection to this case to 25.
While this recall was issued in June 2025, the supplier of the pasta products, Nate’s Fine Foods, has since expanded the recall to include additional ready-to-eat salads and meals. These products were sold in major supermarkets including Sprouts, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, and Albertsons.

Those most at risk of a Listeria infection are adults 65 or older, newborns, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. The CDC reports that one pregnancy-associated illness linked to this case resulted in a fetal loss. Symptoms of a Listeria infection typically begin two weeks after consuming the contaminated food and can include headache, stiff neck, loss of balance, and convulsions.
Listeria contamination has been the cause of a nationwide peach recall this week and a Costco salmon recall in January.
