This HN title absolutely needs to be fixed; removing the "in" between "found" and "Walmart" makes it nonsensical.

to be frank, it reads like Rottingham[0] and it made me giggle a bit: "King illegal forest to pig wild kill in it a is!"

Listeria found Walmart meatball meals may be linked deadly fettuccine outbreak

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.

One could be dumb-found as to why something couldn’t be listeria-found.

It's also missing a "to".

Edit: the current CNN title for me is "Listeria found in Walmart meatball meals may be linked to deadly fettuccine outbreak".

An outbreak of … noodles?

Yeah, like Strega Nona the kids book where a magic pasta pot floods a town with pasta.

This title breaks my brain, I non-jokingly googled fettuccine to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. English is that hard for CNN?

`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?
