Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Public Health (DPH) advises consumers not to eat Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine products produced by FreshRealm. The products have been recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

Recalled products were distributed to New Hampshire Walmart stores. Consumers who purchased or received recalled chicken fettuccine alfredo meals should check their refrigerators and freezers and avoid eating or serving these products. The recalled products include:

• 12.3 oz. Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine with a best-by date on or before June 26, 2025
• 32.8 oz. Marketside Grilled Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine with a best-by date on or before June 27, 2025

There is a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to these chicken fettuccine alfredo products manufactured by FreshRealm. While there have been no illnesses in New Hampshire to date, 17 people in other states have gotten sick with listeriosis after eating these products. Three have passed away.

“Foods that are contaminated with Listeria may not look, smell, or taste any different,” said DPH Director Iain Watt. “The best way to prevent sickness is to check your refrigerators and freezers for recalled products and avoid eating them.”

Listeria monocytogenes bacteria can cause serious and sometimes fatal listeriosis infections in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or preterm labor in pregnant women.

Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, and sometimes nausea and vomiting. If the infection spreads to the nervous system, symptoms can include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics, so anyone who suspects they may have the illness should contact their healthcare provider.
