On October 4 2025, The Kroger Co. announced a voluntary recall of its Basil Pesto Bowtie Salad and Smoked Mozzarella Penne Salad sold in the Kroger Family of Stores in 27 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, and Texas.
The recall follows a notification from Fresh Creative Foods that the pasta ingredient used in the salads was contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The ingredient was manufactured by Nate’s Fine Foods in Roseville, California, and the contamination risk prompted Kroger to act immediately to protect consumers.
This action represents a regulatory compliance measure and a potential health risk mitigation. While the recall does not yet quantify financial impact, it underscores Kroger’s responsibility to ensure product safety and may influence customer confidence and store sales in the affected regions.
