Ready-to-eat pasta meals have been linked to a multistate outbreak of listeriosis, causing at least six deaths, 25 hospitalisations, and 27 confirmed cases across 18 US states.
The source has been identified as Nate's Fine Foods, a supplier of pre‑cooked pasta. Their products, used in a variety of meals sold under supermarket and deli labels, have been voluntarily recalled following the discovery of Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
