Basil Pesto Pasta packaged in a non-flex plastic tub, net wt 8 oz. A green sticker is placed on the lid of the package which contains the lot code. Product is refrigerated

TJs Place recalled Basil Pesto Pasta packaged in a non-flex plastic tub, net wt 8 oz. in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Aug 25, 2014.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Tj's Place is recalling Basil Pesto Pasta packed in 8 oz. plastic tubs because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "Washington State." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Kirkland, WA. The recall covers 20-40 units of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Oct 8, 2014), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
