Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for FSIS-inspected ready-to-eat meals produced by FreshRealm. These products contain spinach that was recalled by Sno Pac Foods due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The alert covers specific 10.1-oz. containers of “HELLO FRESH READY MADE MEALS CHEESY PULLED PORK PEPPER PASTA” and 10-oz. containers of “HELLO FRESH READY MADE MEALS UNSTUFFED PEPPERS WITH GROUND TURKEY” shipped directly to consumers by HelloFresh.
The issue was identified when FreshRealm notified FSIS that the spinach used in these products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. According to the source, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, and the alert is not related to any ongoing outbreak investigations.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Individuals in higher-risk categories, such as older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, should seek medical care if they experience flu-like symptoms within two months of eating the contaminated food.
