The Kroger Co. is recalling approximately 31,359 units of store-made Basil Pesto Bowtie Pasta Salad and Smoked Mozzarella Penne Salad because they contain a pasta ingredient that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. These items were sold at deli service counters and in "Grab-n-Go" sections across various Kroger-owned store banners between August and October 2025. Consumers should check their refrigerators for these products and return them for a refund or dispose of them immediately.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
