"The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on Monday for FreshRealm's ready-to-eat meals- shipped directly to consumers by HelloFresh-due to possible contamination from listeria. HelloFresh is a German-based meal-kit company operating in the United States and globally in Europe, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. FreshRealm notified FSIS that the spinach used in the products tested positive for listeria bacteria."
"According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Listeria monocytogenes is a type of disease-causing bacteria that is generally transmitted when food is harvested, processed, prepared, packed, transported, or stored in manufacturing or production environments contaminated with the bacteria. Infection can lead to severe symptoms, such as abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and diarrhea, and poses a particular risk to vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems."
FSIS issued a public health alert for FreshRealm's ready-to-eat meals shipped directly to consumers by HelloFresh due to possible Listeria contamination. FreshRealm reported that spinach used in affected products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. No illnesses have been reported so far. FSIS expects additional products may be affected and will update the alert as more information becomes available. FreshRealm previously confirmed that pasta used in linguine dishes sold at Walmart contained the same strain linked to a June outbreak that killed at least four people and sickened 20. Listeria infection can cause abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and diarrhea and poses heightened risk to pregnant people, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Product example: HELLO FRESH READY MADE MEALS CHEESY PULLED PORK PEPPER PASTA, Est. 47718 lot 49107 or Est. 2937 lot 48840, 10.1-oz containers.
