DENVER (KDVR) — Select store-made deli items sold at Albertsons Companies’ stores, including locations in Colorado, have been recalled due to possible listeria bacteria contamination.

The company issued a press release on Saturday stating that it has voluntarily recalled Ready Meals Pesto Bowtie Pasta Salad and Basil Pesto Bowtie Pasta Salad sold at Safeway and Albertson stores in Colorado.

Albertsons Companies said the product supplier, Fresh Creative Foods, had initiated the recall due to the products containing a “recalled bowtie pasta ingredient” manufactured by Nate’s Fine Foods of Roseville, California.

This comes after the U.S. Agriculture Department issued a public health alert on Friday for certain heat-and-eat pasta meals sold at Walmart and Trader Joe’s. The recall was due to the products possibly being contaminated with listeria bacteria. According to the Associated Press, the pasta had been manufactured by Nate’s Fine Foods of Roseville.

The recalls were for a total of five store-made deli products in multiple states; however, only two of those five recalled products had been available for purchase in Colorado.

The recalled products in Colorado, provided by Heather Halpape, a spokesperson for the company, are as follows:

“There have been no reports of injuries or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products,” said the company in the press release.

The company noted that those who had purchased the recalled products can either dispose of them or return them to their local store for a full refund.
