Walmart Pasta Listeria Recall: Check These Package Details
A Walmart pasta recall is limited to bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine with specific lot codes, dates, and UPC. Compare the full package details before deciding what the notice applies to.
The recall is not for all Walmart pasta
The FDA notice dated September 15, 2026 identifies one specific product: bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine. It is a frozen 22-ounce product in a yellow plastic package, sold at Walmart stores nationwide, and recalled because of possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
That distinction matters. “Walmart pasta” is too broad to identify the recalled item. The package details—not the retailer name alone—determine whether this notice applies.
Which package details should be checked?
Compare the package with all of the identifiers in the FDA notice:
- Brand: bettergoods
- Product: Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine
- Size and package: Frozen, 22 ounces, yellow plastic package
- UPC: 194346442706
- Lot codes: L6079C or L6080C
- Expiration dates: 09/19/2027 or 09/20/2027
The lot code and UPC are especially useful because they narrow the recall beyond a general product name. An item being sold at Walmart, or simply being a pasta product, does not by itself establish that it is part of this recall.
What should happen if the package matches?
Do not eat it. The FDA says to return the product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. Questions can be directed to Gias Foods at sales@giasfoods.com or 917-675-4890.
The FDA notice reported no illnesses as of its publication. That is a time-limited statement about the information available when the notice was issued; it is not a blanket safety assessment of other pasta products or packages with different identifiers.
How can a recall message be verified?
Use the FDA recall notice to compare the exact product, UPC, lot code, and date. Walmart also maintains an official Product Recalls page. Walmart says it does not send recall notifications by text message, so a text alone should not be treated as proof of a recall.
The practical takeaway is narrow but important: this notice concerns a specific bettergoods fettuccine package. Check the full set of identifiers before applying it to anything else.
