HelloFresh Meal Kits
In October 2025, the USDA published a Public Health Alert for two types of HelloFresh Meal Kits with a spinach ingredient that was recalled due to contamination with Listeria.
The spinach ingredient was supplied by a company called FreshRealm.
Did Anyone Get Sick?
There were no confirmed reports of food poisoning or “adverse reactions,” according to the Public Health Alert, but anyone who is concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider:
“Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.”
