Consumers should check whether they have packages marked with lot numbers L6079C or L6080C, which are printed on the back.

The corresponding expiration dates are September 19, 2027, and September 20, 2027, respectively.

The Walmart pasta recall was announced on September 15 after routine sampling by agricultural authorities in Washington state and Florida.

Testing found that the finished products may contain Listeria monocytogenes. Gias Foods stopped distributing the product while the FDA and company continue investigating the cause.

Why it matters: Listeriosis can be especially dangerous for pregnant people, adults age 65 and older, newborns, and people with weakened immune systems.

The fact: Symptoms of invasive Listeria infection usually begin within two weeks after eating contaminated food, although they can appear earlier or later.

Possible symptoms include fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and seizures.

During pregnancy, infection can cause serious complications even when symptoms in the pregnant person are mild or absent.

The process: First, check the brand, package size, UPC, lot number, and expiration date before consuming any pasta stored in your freezer.

The FDA says consumers who have one of the affected products should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

What you can do: Anyone who ate the recalled product and develops fever along with other symptoms of listeriosis should contact a healthcare provider.

Consumers can also contact Gias Foods directly at sales@giasfoods.com with questions about the recall.
