Bettergoods Frozen Fettuccine Recall Expands to All Lot Codes
Gias Foods has expanded its recall of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine to include every lot code because of possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. If you have this frozen meal, check the product name, package size and UPC—not just the lot code—and return a matching package to the place of purchase for a full refund.
What to check
- Product: Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine
- Package: 22-ounce frozen product in a yellow plastic package
- UPC: 194346442706
- Lot codes: All lot codes are included in the expanded recall
- Distribution: Sold nationwide at Walmart
The lot-code change matters: shoppers should not use a lot-code match to decide whether this product is affected. If the product name, 22-ounce size and UPC match, the October 1 recall notice includes it regardless of its lot code.
What changed in the recall
The FDA’s October 1 update expands the initial September 15 recall. The first notice identified two lots; the updated notice covers all lot codes of the product. This is a material change for anyone who checked the earlier notice and set aside a package that did not have one of those two lot codes.
The concern is possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The FDA notice reported no illnesses to date as of its October 1 publication. That status is not a reason to keep or eat a package that matches the recall identifiers.
What shoppers should do
If you find the matching fettuccine in your freezer, do not eat it. Return it to the place of purchase for a full refund, as directed in the notice. Check the product label and UPC carefully, especially if you bought frozen meals during a recent Walmart grocery trip or have several packages stored together.
Gias Foods and the FDA are the sources for the recall details and consumer instructions. The key point is simple: this expanded recall covers all lot codes of the identified 22-ounce product, not only the two lots listed in the original notice.
