Hello everyone!

As I noted in my last message about this, I knew they'd update their script to try and make it so staff and people like me can't easily find their posts.

Well so sad to bad I found them anyway hehe. :)

Sometimes they also use this stupid AI image too, DISGUSTANG:

Here are past versions of this scam. sorry I don't have alt text. :(

Yeah I was fooled too but here's a vid breaking it down.

That's where they now can most easily get away with these now.

And yes, that means things are about the get really fucking scary, and not in a fun Halloween way.

listeria can take between a few hours to more than two months (~10 weeks) to cause illness after eating contaminated food. antibiotics are available, and some doctors will prescribe them to high-risk patients with suspected listeria exposure before they experience symptoms.

you may remember back in june there was a deadly listeria outbreak linked to chicken fettuccine alfredo (FDA link). I (rune) made a post about it. at the time of that outbreak, it was not clear which specific ingredient was contaminated with listeria.

the contaminated ingredient was finally identified, and it is pre-cooked pasta. in the months since june 2025, food containing the contaminated pasta was sold in thousands of grocery stores nationwide. for at least some of the recalled products, contamination dates back to at least august 2024. the current number of illnesses linked to this outbreak is 20, with 19 hospitalizations and 4 deaths.

stores that sold meals contaminated with listeria include: kroger, baker's, city market, dillons, fred meyer, fry's, gerbes, king soopers, payless, ralphs and smith's, giant eagle, market district, albertsons, albertsons market, amigos, andronico's community markets, carrs-safeway, eagle, pak 'n save, pavilions, market street, randalls, safeway, tomb thumb, united and vons, walmart, and trader joe's. this list is not comprehensive and recalls are ongoing as more products containing the contaminated pasta get identified and recalled.

FDA investigation - CDC investigation

this post is going to wind up long, so I (rune) am going to try and give summaries rather than copy and pasting all the information, to make it a little bit shorter.

on june 18 2025, the US FDA, CDC, and USDA FSIS announced a listeria outbreak associated with ready-to-eat chicken fettuccine alfredo meals, with linked illnesses dating back to august 2024. the USDA FSIS is involved because these are products containing a lot of chicken. the USDA FSIS gets involved with products containing a significant amount of eggs, poultry, and/or meat.

at that time it was unclear which ingredient in the chicken fettuccine alfredo was contaminated with listeria. because the specific source of the listeria contamination could not be determined, products containing the contaminated ingredient (pre-cooked pasta) have remained on shelves for months since then.

on september 25 2025, the USDA FSIS issued an alert saying that the likely culprit was pre-cooked pasta from nate's fine foods, and recalls for meals containing listeria-contaminated pre-cooked pasta began. their contaminated pasta is used in a LOT of different food.

as of september 25 2025: 20 illnesses, 19 hospitalizations, and 4 deaths in 15 states have currently been linked to this outbreak. as listeria can take up to 10 weeks to cause illness, followed by 3-4 weeks for any given case of foodborne illness to become associated with any given outbreak, these numbers will likely rise. not every illness from listeria is deadly, so many people recover without medical care and do not get their illnesses counted.

Symptoms of Listeriosis (Listeria Infection): Symptoms usually start within two weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria but may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after. Mild symptoms may include a fever, muscle aches, nausea, tiredness, vomiting, and diarrhea. If the more severe form of listeriosis develops, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions.

if you suspect you have symptoms of illness from listeria, consider getting prompt medical care, especially if you are in a high-risk group. the earlier you get diagnosed and treated, the better. in some cases, your healthcare team may choose to prescribe you antibiotics if you have eaten the affected food, even if you do not have symptoms. high-risk groups for listeria infection include people who are over 65, have weakened immune systems, or are pregnant.

the maps on the investigation pages showing where the people who live got sick does not represent the locations where the contaminated food was sold. the contaminated pre-cooked pasta was likely sold in every single US state. not every illness was necessarily reported, diagnosed, and/or investigated in a way that could get it linked to this outbreak.

before I (rune!) get to the recalls, I want to point out something here that always comes up: if a food is advertised as ready-to-eat, that means it is supposed to be fully cooked and safe to eat without needing to heat or cook it first. and no, you should NOT be trying to cook something you know is contaminated with listeria. you seriously do not want to be fucking with listeria. while most people who get exposed to listeria do not become seriously ill, listeriosis is one of the deadliest forms of food poisoning/foodborne illness.

that being said, the US FDA does have some recommendations to help reduce the risk of getting sick from listeria, including safer choices to make with food, food preparation, and storage. everyone who values food safety even a little should own a food thermometer. listeria is fairly fucking resilient. if you have any of the recalled foods in your fridge or freezer, you are going to want to clean and sanitize your fridge, freezer, and/or anything else the listeria-contaminated food may have touched.

although the vast majority of these recalls involve food with relatively nearby best-by dates, at least some of these products have likely been contaminated since at least august 2024. you will probably not be able to get a refund on food outside of the listed recall dates. many of these recalls say that no illnesses have been linked to the individual recalls, which is technically correct, as listeria is one of the harder things to track down, can take up to 10 weeks to cause illness, followed by 3-4 weeks to get linked to any outbreak. the outbreak these recalls are linked to has killed several people already.

recall list is below a cut due to length. no images below the cut so it loads better. when sharing this outbreak outside of tumblr, I recommend using the FDA outbreak investigation link, which lists these recalls as well as links to the CDC and USDA FSIS pages.

tumblr still will not let poor old rune here write tables, and all these recalls provide different information in different styles. did my best to format this for tumblr, but remember that you can click any recall link for more information. some recall pages include visuals of the recalled products. these recalls will likely continue to expand.

RECALLED ITEMS (as of october 4, 2025):

And then he said, “The important thing is to find something you feel good about doing.”

That phrasing struck me. “Something you feel good about doing”. Most people would have phrased it as “something you enjoy doing”. Or “something you’re good at doing”. But Mr. Rogers’ subtly different phrasing leads to a profoundly different connotation. “Something you feel good about doing” may not be enjoyable–people who work in hospitals or in disaster zones might not enjoy much of their day, but they probably feel good about helping people. “Something you feel good about doing“ may not be something you’re particularly good at–you may be a terrible artist by any objective standard, but if you feel good about making your art, then it’s a worthwhile endeavor. Looking for “something you feel good about doing” can help you find a truly satisfying life path.
