There have been four recalls of food products sold at Walmart since March 2025, according to Walmart and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Walmart is the world’s largest retailer. According to AiTechtonic, nearly 95 percent of Americans visit a Walmart store at least twice a year.

Newsweek has reached out to Walmart via an online contact form for comment.

Walmart states on its website that “Walmart and Sam’s Club are committed to the health and safety of our customers and members and to providing products that are safe and compliant, all supported by our health and wellness, product safety, and food safety professionals. In the event of a product recall, we work swiftly to block the item from being sold and remove it from our stores and clubs.”

Listeria contamination poses serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations including young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems.

Infections can lead to severe symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Tortilla Chips

Frito-Lay has announced a recall of a limited number of 13 oz. bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips on March 26. The recall was issued due to the potential presence of nacho cheese tortilla chips in some bags, which may contain undeclared milk.

The recalled product comes in a flexible 13 oz. bag with the UPC Code 28400 52848 and a guaranteed fresh date of May 20, 2025.
