USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat meals produced by FreshRealm containing spinach that has been recalled by Sno Pac Foods due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

FreshRealm is a third-party supplier of ready-to-eat meals used by Hello Fresh.

The FSIS says that based on current evidence, the products included in this public health alert are not related to any ongoing outbreak investigations.

The following products are subject to the public health alert:

  • 10.1oz. 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. This item was shipped directly to consumers by HelloFresh.

FSIS says the company notified the agency that the spinach used in the products tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, but there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions.
