Frozen Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine Recalled For Listeria Risk

Gias Foods, Inc. has recalled two lots of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine because the frozen pasta may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration recall notice.

The recalled product was distributed nationwide through Walmart stores. The official notices do not identify Schaumburg-specific stores or Illinois-only distribution, so local shoppers should treat this as a national recall and check their own freezer if they may have purchased the product.

What Was Recalled

The recall applies only to the affected lots listed in the FDA notice:

• Product: Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine
• Package: Frozen, 22-ounce package in yellow plastic packaging
• UPC: 194346442706
• Lot numbers: L6079C and L6080C
• Expiration dates: 09/19/2027 and 09/20/2027
• Distribution: Walmart stores nationwide

The recall was posted in mid-September 2026. The FDA notice and public bulletin identify the concern as possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The materials reviewed do not provide a Schaumburg-specific store list or a detailed root cause.

Why Listeria Recalls Matter

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne bacterium that can cause illness, especially in people who are pregnant, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. FDA recall language notes that infection can cause symptoms such as fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. During pregnancy, listeria infection can pose serious risks.

Frozen foods can still be part of a safe kitchen, but recalls are important because freezing does not make a recalled product safe to eat. For this recall, consumers who have the affected lot numbers and expiration dates should avoid eating the product and follow the instructions in the official recall notice.

What Shoppers Can Do

• Check the package label carefully for the product name, UPC, lot number, and expiration date.
• If the package matches the recalled details, do not eat it.
• Keep the package information available if contacting the company, a retailer, or a health professional.
• If someone ate the recalled product and feels ill, especially if they are pregnant, older, or immunocompromised, they can ask a doctor or another qualified provider what symptoms should prompt evaluation.

Questions To Ask A Health Professional

For people who may be at higher risk from listeria, useful questions may include: What symptoms should I watch for after a possible exposure? Does my pregnancy, age, or immune status change how quickly I should seek care? Are there food safety steps I should use at home after handling a recalled frozen food?

What Is Still Unclear

The official recall confirms the affected product, lot numbers, expiration dates, and nationwide Walmart distribution. It does not provide a store-by-store list, a Schaumburg-specific notice, or detailed information on how the possible contamination occurred. Readers should rely on the FDA recall page for updates rather than assuming that all similar pasta products are affected.
