Health alert issued for two frozen meals sold at Trader Joe's, Walmart

A public health alert has been issued around specific frozen pasta meals sold at Trader Joe’s and Walmart stores nationwide due to potential contamination with listeria bacteria previously linked to a deadly outbreak this summer.

In an announcement on Thursday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture warned consumers to steer clear of Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara Sauce sold at Walmart in clear, 12-ounce plastic trays.

The linguine products have best-by dates of Sept. 22, 24, 25, 29, 30 and October 1 of this year and may still be in consumers’ refrigerators. The Walmart linguine bears establishment numbers “EST. 50784” and “EST. 47718” on the USDA inspection label.

The following day, the FSIS updated the alert to include Trader Joe’s Cajun Style Blackened Chicken Breast Fettuccine Alfredo, sold in 16-once plastic trays with best-by dates of September 20, 24 and 27 of this year. The Trader Joe’s frozen meals are marked P- 45288 inside the USDA inspection mark.

I'm sorry about the people that became ill after eating this, but I can't help but be delighted to learn that the Trader Joe's and Walmart deli entrees come from the same factory. It's a fact that will warm my insides the next time I have to listen to someone rhapsodizing about the superior quality of Trader Joe's merchandise.

R1 - I don't see in the article that the two are tied to the same distributor. Just that there are two recall alerts, one for Walmart and one for TJs on very different products.

So Trader Joe’s sells their same product as Wal-Mart does? I wish their pea soup was still Amy’s, the newer one isn’t as good.

R3 - no - the article doesn't claim that the manufacturer distributes to both Walmart and TJ. It is just stating two recalls that don't be associated with each other.

Let's enjoy this period where these things get caught and recalls happen. It's coming to an end.
