Which Walmart Pasta Has Been Recalled?

The recall involves Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine, a frozen pasta meal sold in a 22-ounce yellow plastic package.

What Is Listeria?

Listeria is a type of bacteria that can cause a foodborne illness called listeriosis.

An infection can cause symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea, stomach pain and diarrhea. However, Listeria infections can become much more serious for older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems.

Pregnant women also face particular risks from Listeria infections, including potentially serious pregnancy complications.
