What happened

Primary-source statement · Gias Foods says it has expanded its recall of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine to all lot codes. Its October 1 announcement, posted on FDA’s website, cites potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The company identifies the frozen product as a 22-ounce yellow package with UPC 194346442706, distributed nationwide at Walmart stores. The linked September 15 announcement covered two lots, L6079C and L6080C. The newer notice describes a broader recall of that identified product. [Gias Foods · FDA-hosted] [Gias Foods · FDA-hosted]

Why it matters

Primary-source statement · The earlier notice identified expiration dates of September 19 and September 20, 2027, alongside those two lot numbers. The October 1 version instead says all lot codes and directs purchasers to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. The company says distribution has stopped while it and FDA investigate. These are the company’s recall scope and instructions; the expanded notice is linked here so readers can check the product identification directly.

What remains unknown

Evidence limits · Gias Foods reported no illnesses in its October 1 announcement. That is a dated company statement, not an independently verified count of all illnesses. The notices do not establish how many packages were contaminated or anyone’s individual health risk. FDA labels both pages as company announcements posted as a public service and states that publication does not endorse the product or company. The two notices share one company origin; they document its changing announcement, not two independent laboratory findings. [Gias Foods · FDA-hosted] [Gias Foods · FDA-hosted]
