HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Hawaiʻi Department of Health’s Food and Drug Branch is bringing attention to a recall of a shrimp scampi product sold in local supermarkets.
The recall was issued by Demers Food Group for the Scott and Jon’s Shrimp Scampi with Linguini, citing potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.
According to the DOH, the product contains a recalled linguini pasta supplied by Nate’s Fine Foods.
While the product was distributed nationwide, local suppliers like Safeway sold the now-recalled product. The DOH is working with local retailers to remove the product from shelves.
The affected batches of the product contain the following details:
- 9.6 ounce containers
- Best by dates of March 12, 2027, March 13, 2027, March 17, 2027 and March 21, 2027.
Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, which is a serious and sometimes fatal infection that stems from consuming contaminated food, the DOH said. Those at the highest risk include pregnant people, newborns, kūpuna or those with weakened immune systems.
Those who are pregnant may experience a higher rate of miscarriage or stillbirths, and healthy individuals may suffer from fever, headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and more, the DOH said.
If you exhibit the above symptoms after consuming the recalled product, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics.
Affected items can be returned to the point of purchase for a refund, and be sure to sanitize thoroughly if handling the product.
