If you picked up a box of Walmart’s Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine recently, it’s worth a trip to the freezer before you cook it tonight.
Gias Foods, Inc. is recalling the frozen pasta dish nationwide because it may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. That’s the bacteria behind some of the most serious foodborne illness outbreaks in the country, and it’s especially dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and anyone with a weakened immune system.
What Was Recalled
The recall covers Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine, sold in a 22-ounce package with yellow plastic packaging.
Two lots are affected: Lot L6079C, which expires September 19, 2027, and Lot L6080C, which expires September 20, 2027. You’ll find the lot number and expiration date printed on the package.
The product carries UPC 194346442706 and was sold nationwide through Walmart stores.
Why This Recall Matters
Listeria monocytogenes isn’t like a typical stomach bug. The FDA describes it as an organism that “can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.” In pregnant women, a Listeria infection can also lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.
Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, and in more severe cases, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, or convulsions. Symptoms can show up anywhere from a few days to a few weeks after eating contaminated food, which makes it easy to miss the connection.
As of the FDA’s September 15, 2026 announcement, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. The company and FDA are continuing to investigate.
What To Do If You Have It
Check your freezer for Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine with lot L6079C or L6080C printed on the package.
If you have one of the affected lots, don’t eat it. You have two options: return it to your local Walmart for a full refund, or simply throw it away. You don’t need a receipt to return a recalled product.
If you have questions, you can reach Gias Foods at sales@giasfoods.com or by phone at 917-675-4890. The company says it responds to inquiries within 24 hours.
If you or someone in your household ate this product and is experiencing a fever, stiff neck, confusion, or severe headache, contact a healthcare provider and mention the possible Listeria exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have the recalled fettuccine?
Check the package for lot L6079C (expires 9/19/2027) or L6080C (expires 9/20/2027). Both are 22-ounce Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine, UPC 194346442706.
Is this recall dangerous?
Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious illness, particularly in pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy adults may experience only mild symptoms or none at all, but the FDA treats any possible Listeria contamination as a serious health risk.
What should I do if I ate it and feel fine?
Most healthy people who are exposed to Listeria don’t get sick. Symptoms, when they do appear, can take up to several weeks to show up. If you feel fine, there’s no need to panic, but keep an eye out for fever, muscle aches, or gastrointestinal symptoms in the following weeks.
Where can I return the product?
Any Walmart store will accept the return for a full refund, even without a receipt.
Has anyone gotten sick?
As of the FDA’s recall notice, no illnesses have been reported.
Bottom Line
If you’ve got Bettergoods Alfredo Fettuccine in your freezer, take thirty seconds to check the lot number. If it matches, don’t cook it — return it or toss it. It’s a small inconvenience next to the risk Listeria poses to the people most vulnerable to it.
