Bettergoods Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine recall: what shoppers need to know

Gias Foods, Inc. announced a recall on September 15, 2026, for two lots of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine sold nationwide at Walmart stores in the United States. The affected frozen pasta meal may contain Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause serious illness in pregnant people, older adults, young children, and people with weakened immune systems.

The FDA notice says no illnesses had been reported when the recall was published. Even so, consumers should not eat the affected product. Check the package details below before preparing anything from your freezer.

How to identify the recalled Bettergoods pasta

The recall applies to a specific product, package size, UPC, two lot codes, and two expiration dates. A Bettergoods pasta package is included only when the identifying details match the recall notice.

The UPC, lot code, and expiration date are printed on the back of the package. If the product name and package size match but the lot code or date does not, the FDA notice does not identify that package as part of these two recalled lots. If you cannot read the code clearly, it is safer not to eat the product until you confirm the details with Walmart, Gias Foods, or the FDA notice.

What to do if you have a recalled package

1. Do not eat it. Cooking is not a reason to ignore the recall. Set the package aside so nobody accidentally prepares it.
2. Keep it away from other food. Place it in a sealed bag or container if it has leaked or may have touched other items.
3. Return it to the place of purchase. Gias Foods says consumers should return affected packages for a full refund.
4. Clean surfaces that may have been exposed. Wash your hands, then clean and sanitize shelves, counters, cutting boards, utensils, and other surfaces that contacted the package or food.
5. Do not donate or feed it to pets. Recalled food should not be passed to someone else or used as animal food.

The FDA notice lists Gias Foods’ consumer contact information as 917-675-4890 and sales@giasfoods.com. The company says consumers who email questions should receive a response within 24 hours.

Why the product was recalled

The recall followed routine sampling by the Washington State Department of Agriculture and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The testing indicated that the finished product may contain Listeria monocytogenes.

Gias Foods has stopped distributing the affected product while the FDA and company continue investigating the cause. The recall announcement does not say that every package of Bettergoods Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine is contaminated. It identifies two specific lots that should not be eaten.

Listeria symptoms and who should seek medical advice

Listeria exposure does not mean a person will become sick, and many people who eat potentially contaminated food do not develop symptoms. However, listeriosis can be especially serious during pregnancy, in adults age 65 and older, and in people with weakened immune systems.

Possible symptoms include fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, nausea, abdominal pain, or diarrhea. Pregnant people may have mild flu-like symptoms, but infection can still cause serious pregnancy complications.

If you ate the recalled pasta and develop fever or other symptoms, contact a healthcare provider and mention the recalled food. Pregnant people, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems should be particularly prompt about seeking medical advice. The CDC says people who ate potentially contaminated food but feel well generally do not need testing or treatment, although they can contact a healthcare provider with questions.

United States and Canada: what the notice covers

The official recall identifies nationwide distribution through Walmart stores in the United States. It does not announce Canadian distribution or a Canadian recall for this product. Canadian shoppers should not assume that a similarly named product is included unless Canadian authorities or the retailer issue a separate notice.

U.S. shoppers should compare the package with all of the identifying information in the table above rather than relying on the product name alone. The September 15, 2026, FDA notice is the controlling source for the affected lots and refund direction.

What happens next

Gias Foods says distribution of the affected product has ceased while the investigation continues. No additional deadline for refunds or a replacement program has been announced in the FDA notice. Keep any purchase information you have, but the published instruction is to return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
