Walmart, Trader Joe's Recall Pasta Over Listeria Risk
Some frozen pasta meals sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's might have tiny germs called listeria in them.
These germs can make people sick with a disease called listeriosis.
The government is telling people not to eat these meals.
If you ate the meals, you might get sick, so see a doctor.
Walmart and Trader Joe's are recalling the pasta.
Listeriosis can be serious, especially for those over 65, with weak immune systems or who are pregnant.
If you ate this pasta and feel sick in the next two months, see a doctor.
