NEW YORK (PIX11) — If you have recently had ready-to-eat meals delivered from HelloFresh, you may want to double-check your order.
A public health alert was issued on Oct. 6 about a possible contamination after it was discovered that spinach used in the meals tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
The affected products were produced between Sept. 6 and Oct. 9. Products include:
- HelloFresh Ready Made Meals Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta in 10.1-oz containers with establishment numbers 47718 and 2937 and lot codes 49107 and 48840.

Anyone who has one of the products listed above is urged to throw the meals away or return them.
Eating contaminated food can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Listeriosis can be more serious or even fatal in older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
The infection is treatable with antibiotics.
