Walmart shoppers are being urged to check their freezers after a supplier recalled certain packages of Bettergoods pasta sold nationwide over potential listeria contamination.

Gias Foods Inc. is recalling two lots of Bettergoods Authentic Italian Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine distributed at Walmart stores across the country, according to a company announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration. 

The recalled pasta is sold frozen in 22-ounce yellow plastic packages under Walmart’s Bettergoods brand. The affected products have UPC 194346442706 and are marked with lot numbers L6079C or L6080C.

Packages with lot number L6079C have an expiration date of Sept. 19, 2027, while those marked L6080C have an expiration date of Sept. 20, 2027. Both the lot number and expiration date are stamped on the back of the packaging.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled products, the company said.

The recall followed routine sampling conducted by the Washington State Department of Agriculture and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

The sampling indicated that the finished products may contain Listeria monocytogenes, according to the announcement.

Gias Foods has stopped distributing the affected product while the company and FDA continue investigating what caused the potential contamination.

Representatives for Gias Foods and Walmart did not immediately respond to FOX Business’ requests for comment.

The FDA posts company recall announcements as a public service and notes that publishing an announcement does not constitute an endorsement of the product or company.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, according to the recall announcement.

Healthy people may experience short-term symptoms, including high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. A listeria monocytogenes infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Because the recalled product is frozen and carries expiration dates extending into September 2027, consumers are being urged to check packages they may have stored in their freezers.

Consumers who purchased either affected lot should return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, according to Gias Foods.

Mumbai: The Indian rupee closed stronger at 95.59 on Tuesday, amid a pull back in oil prices and dollar sales by the central bank, traders said. Brent crude oil prices dropped to $98 per barrel, easing pressure on the currency which had previously closed at 95.81.

The currency traded in the range of 95.58 and 95.86, with the central bank selling dollars at weaker levels. The rupee saw a choppy session as state-run banks sold dollars while corporate demand for the greenback provided a counterforce, creating a push-and-pull dynamic in the market.

“Gains earlier during the day were supported by dollar sales by the RBI, and later corporate dollar demand again wiped these gains. The RBI then intervened around 95.85 levels and kept a lid on further weakness,” said Anil Bhansali, head of treasury, Finrex Treasury Advisors.

Technology leadership broadened beyond semiconductors, as communications equipment, technology hardware, and other Artificial Intelligence ((‘AI’)) infrastructure beneficiaries also posted exceptional gains. – Earnest Partners LLC

Market in Review

In a recent survey of more than 5,500 people, commissioned by Citizens Advice, 36% adults said they were behind on at least one bill, but for those in their 20s that figure climbs to 57%.

Ezgi Polat is one of them. When the 23-year-old, from Ramsey in Cambridgeshire, lost her job 12 months ago, her family weren’t in a position to help, so she quickly fell behind on rent and bills.

“My parents were struggling financially, just like I am, just like everyone else…. I got myself in arrears, a lot of debt because I just couldn’t afford it – £300 was not covering any of my bills at that point.”

Her local bus service was cancelled, making trips to the job centre increasingly difficult, so her benefits were then cut. She was receiving £360 a month in Universal Credit, but with rent at £460, plus utility bills, council tax and living costs, her total debt spiralled to about £4,000.

After turning to Citizens Advice for help, her rent arrears were wiped out by the council three months ago, and she’s agreed to paying £200 a month to both her electricity and water company in repayment plans.

She’s delighted to have now got work in a warehouse and feels like life is getting back on track, but it’s not been an easy road.

“A lot of older people feel like we’re not ambitious enough, or we’re not striving hard enough, but they’d be surprised at the amount of people out there so desperate for work and so desperate for support but with nowhere to turn to,” she says.

The latest government figures show that just under a million young people are currently not in employment, education or training.

A government spokesperson said “We are determined to restore hope and deliver opportunity for young people in every postcode. That’s why we are investing £2.5 billion to create opportunities for young people to earn or learn through more apprenticeships, job grants, and training. And for those moving out for the first time, our Renters’ Rights Act gives tenants more rights and protection from excessive increases.”

But Luke Young, head of policy at Citizens Advice, thinks young people are trapped between rising costs and a difficult jobs market.

“For young people right now the divide is growing bigger between those who do have financial support from families and other networks, and then those who don’t. Young people who don’t have that wider support network are being let down.”
