Oklahoma consumers impacted by national pasta listeria recall

A national food contamination alert now includes Oklahoma — with Oklahoma consumers affected by national pasta listeria recall after products sold in major chains were tied to illness and deaths.

No deaths or illnesses have been reported in Oklahoma at this time, but public health officials confirm state households and grocery chains are part of the impacted distribution map.

The products tied to this recall were sold at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts Farmers Market, Kroger, Albertsons, and multiple other stores. The CDC confirms listeria exposure is linked to six deaths and at least 27 illnesses nationally.

Because these chains sell into Oklahoma markets statewide — state households are urged to immediately check packaged pasta inventory and discard recalled items.

CDC guidance

The CDC has a full list of recalled brands and product codes. Food safety policy leaders say the best immediate protection is to not assume any packaged refrigerated pasta is safe until confirmed against the CDC recall list.

Officials say do not taste test questionable product to “check if it’s bad.” Freeze, reheat, smell test — none of these protect against listeria. The advisory is clear: if it is on the recall list — throw it away.
