Albertsons recalls deli products over listeria

Albertsons Companies announced a recall of five store-made deli items after they were found to contain a recalled bowtie pasta produced by Nate's Fine Foods that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected deli salads and pasta dishes were sold across Albertsons-owned banners in 15 states; the company says no illnesses have been reported and urges customers to discard or return the products for a refund. FDA and CDC guidance is cited, with officials warning that Listeria can persist in refrigeration and advising extra sanitation and vigilance for high-risk groups.
