Retail Recall in Place for Marketside Product

      The USDA has issued a public health alert about Marketside brand pasta with meatballs sold at Walmart stores nationwide because of a possible link to a deadly Listeria outbreak.
      The producing company collected samples of the pre-cooked pasta used as an ingredient in the product as part of an ongoing FDA investigation related to a Listeria outbreak linked to chicken fettuccine alfredo meals sold at Walmart and Kroger stores.
      The test confirmed that the linguine pasta was positive for Listeria and further testing is ongoing to determine if the Listeria is genetically related to the specific outbreak strain.
