Urgent Consumer Alert: Albertsons, Safeway, Vons Recall Deli Products Over Listeria Risk
Albertsons Companies has issued an urgent recall for several store-made deli products across more than a dozen states, including those sold at Albertsons Market, Safeway, and Vons. The recall stems from potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination linked to a recalled bowtie pasta ingredient from Nate’s Fine Foods.
Consumers are strongly advised not to consume the affected items, which include various ready-to-eat basil pesto pasta salad offerings and pasta dishes with chicken, spinach, and other ingredients. Impacted products should be immediately discarded or returned to any local Albertsons-owned store for a full refund. A detailed list of recalled product names, sell-by dates, and identifying information is available on Albertsons’ website.
While no illnesses have been reported in connection with Albertsons’ products, the company emphasizes the serious health risks associated with listeria, particularly for older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, and confusion.
This recall follows broader warnings from U.S. health officials regarding potential listeria contamination in ready-made meals from other retailers, some of which have been previously linked to a deadly outbreak. Consumers are urged to exercise extreme caution and maintain vigilance in cleaning surfaces that may have come into contact with potentially contaminated products.
