3 Deaths Linked to Chicken Alfredo at Walmart, Kroger
In June 2025, health officials in Texas and other states linked Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo to a deadly outbreak of food poisoning infections with Listeria.
How Many People Got Sick?
According to the CDC Outbreak Advisory, as of June 18, 2025, a total of 17 people were infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes, including 16 people who were hospitalized and 3 people who died.
Chicken Alfredo Linked to 1 Death in Texas
Three deaths were reported in the states of Texas, Michigan and Illinois. There was also a pregnant woman who survived, but suffered a fetal death (miscarriage) after she was infected with Listeria.
When Did This Outbreak Start?
These illnesses started on dates ranging from July 24, 2024 through May 10, 2025, according to health officials.
This outbreak has been ongoing for at least a year, but it was not until March 2025 that health officials discovered the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo that was collected at a FreshRealm manufacturing facility.
Where Did People Get Sick?
The illnesses were reported in 13 states, including: Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
Health officials believe there may be unreported illnesses in these states (or others):
“The true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely higher than the number reported, and this outbreak may not have been limited to the states with known illnesses.”
