NASDAQ: TOMZ) | Listeria in Packaged Meals - A Public Health Alert! More Stocks Inside" src="https://www.abnewswire.com/upload/2025/10/1759848265.jpg" alt="TOMI Environmental (NASDAQ: TOMZ) | Listeria in Packaged Meals - A Public Health Alert! More Stocks Inside" width="225" height="225">

A recent CDC investigation confirmed 17 Listeria cases across 13 U.S. states, including 16 hospitalizations and three deaths, linked to FreshRealm chicken fettuccine Alfredo meals sold under Walmart’s Marketside and Kroger’s Home Chef brands. The outbreak underscores growing vulnerabilities in the ready-to-eat (RTE) food sector, where contamination inside production facilities can bypass consumer safeguards and trigger large-scale recalls, lawsuits, and brand damage.

TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOMZ) offers a proven defense through its SteraMist® ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP®) disinfection system—validated to achieve a six-log kill rate against pathogens including Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli. Unlike conventional cleaning, SteraMist® penetrates cold environments and hard-to-reach surfaces, neutralizing bacteria, spores, and toxins without leaving harmful residues. This makes it an essential technology for manufacturers seeking compliance with FDA and USDA standards while protecting consumers and facilities alike.

For investors, this outbreak is a clear reminder that food safety is not only a public health priority but also a financial safeguard. TOMI’s scalable, high-margin SteraMist® platform positions the company to capture accelerating demand for advanced food safety and infection prevention technologies.
