THREE popular ready-to-eat pasta meals have been recalled after they were linked to a dangerous bacterial outbreak that’s left at least three dead.

Health officials urged Walmart and Kroger shoppers to throw away the meal, as it may contain a deadly strain of listeria.

On Tuesday, the USDA released a terrifying statement warning consumers to stay away from two premade chicken alfredo dishes.

Food manufacturer FreshRealm agreed to yank three packages of fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken from shelves after the discovery.

The 32.8-ounce packs of Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine marked with a best-by date of June 27 or earlier, along with the 12.3-ounce packages of Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine dated best-by June 26, were impacted by this issue.

The 12.5-ounce packages of Home Chef Heat & Eat Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with a best-by date of June 19 or before was also recalled.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service focused on these products after 17 individuals contracted listeriosis, a serious and potentially life-threatening infection.

The sickness is caused by the bacteria listeria and can have devastating effects on older adults and young children.

Some common side effects of the infection include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, diarrhea, and convulsions.

The bacteria can cause pregnant women to have stillbirths or miscarriages, and newborns can be killed.

Out of the 17 people who were infected, three of them died.

Among those infected, at least two individuals reported consuming one of these now-recalled meals, while two others mentioned eating a product that matched the description closely.

Anyone who has the pasta dishes is urged to either throw them away or return them to the supermarket where they were purchased.

According to health experts, every item manufactured before Tuesday is at risk of being contaminated, even if the best-by date hasn’t passed.

If the packages have the establishment numbers EST. P-50784, EST. P-47770, or EST. P-47718 printed on the side of the package, they should be thrown away immediately.

Anyone who thinks they ate the product in the past couple of months and starts to feel symptoms should see a doctor, as the infection can be treated with antibiotics.

MORE RECALLS

The pasta dishes aren’t the only items sold at Walmart that have been recalled recently.

In April, health officials found that over 1,700 pounds of butter had been contaminated with fecal animal waste.

The dairy products had elevated levels of coliform bacteria, which is found in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals.

The butter, which was made by Cabot Creamery, was urgently yanked from shelves, and shoppers were urged to check their refrigerators.

Millions of eggs were also recalled just days ago.

Those grocery items had been sold at Walmart and the popular gas station chain Safeway.

Plus, dozens of people fell ill thanks to a list of recalled items from Walmart and Kroger.

One of the items could be found in many different prepared grocery products.
