Never knew listeria bacteria had such investigating prowess, nor that there's a deadly transmissive disease sharing the name of the popular pasta.
I jest of course, though the current CNN headline, which isn't missing the "in", still sounds weird to me.
Edit: the current CNN title for me is "Listeria found in Walmart meatball meals may be linked to deadly fettuccine outbreak".
`Walmart meatball meals may be linked to deadly Listeria outbreak.`
`Meatball meals from Walmart suspected in deadly Listeria outbreak.`
Edit: The craziest part is this has nothing to do with "fettuccine", as per the article:
"The U.S. Agriculture Department issued a public health alert late Thursday for Marketside Linguine with Beef Meatballs & Marinara Sauce sold in refrigerated 12-ounce clear plastic trays."
Was the entire article written by an LLM?
