HelloFresh is recalling two ready-made meals after the USDA issued an alert about the meals containing spinach possibly contaminated with listeria.
Federal officials are warning consumers that certain meals from HelloFresh contain spinach that may have been contaminated with listeria. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued the public health alert on Monday for FSIS-inspected, ready-to-eat meals produced by FreshRealm.
The impacted products include 10.1-ounce containers of "HELLO FRESH READY MADE MEALS CHEESY PULLED PORK PEPPER PASTA" with establishment number "Est. 47718" and lot code 49107 or establishment number "Est. 2937" and lot code 48840 and 10-ounce containers of "HELLO FRESH READY MADE MEALS UNSTUFFED PEPPERS WITH GROUND TURKEY" with establishment number "P-47718" and lot codes 50069, 50073 or 50698. Both of the impacted products were shipped directly to customers by HelloFresh, according to the FSIS. LISTERIA OUTBREAK FROM RECALLED PREPARED MEALS SOLD AT TRADER JOE'S AND WALMART LEAVES 4 DEAD, 19 IN HOSPITAL Consumers who purchased potentially contaminated products are advised not to consume them and to either throw them out or return them. HelloFresh responded to the alert in a statement provided to FOX Business, saying, "At HelloFresh, the safety of our customers and the quality of our meals is our highest priority. Due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes in spinach used by our third-party supplier of ready-to-eat meals, FreshRealm, a recall has been issued on two HelloFresh Ready-Made Meals." "We have directly contacted customers who may have received the Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta or Unstuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey between Sept. 6 and Oct. 9, 2025, and advised them to immediately discard any affected product. We take this matter very seriously," the company added. KROGER RECALLS DELI PASTA SALADS ACROSS 28 STATES OVER POTENTIAL LISTERIA CONTAMINATION The FSIS said there were no reported adverse reactions related to consumption of the possibly contaminated meal kits, though it advised anyone concerned about an illness to contact a health care professional. The agency warned that consumption of food contaminated with listeria could cause listeriosis, which affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and their newborns. It also noted that people outside those groups are less commonly affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, which are sometimes preempted by gastrointestinal symptoms, according to the FSIS. The agency added that pregnant women could face miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn if infected. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics.
