Just when you thought it was safe to let your guard down, another food recall makes headlines.
At least 20 people have been sickened by a listeria outbreak in prepared pasta products across the U.S., with four people dying, according to the CDC. Warnings have been issued for pasta from Walmart, Trader Joe’s, and a host of other retailers across the country.
Yet another pasta has been added to the list of things to avoid. Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Scampi with Linguini Pasta Bowls (9.6-oz) have been recalled over listeria concerns. The FDA has not issued a list of retailers where the product was sold, but did provide the best-by dates to look for. They include dates in 2027, so be sure to check your freezer.
Best if used by dates:
March 12, 2027
March 13, 2027
March 17, 2027
March 21, 2027
No illnesses have been reported from consuming Scott & Jon’s Shrimp Scampi, but the product is being recalled because it contains pasta supplied by Nate’s Fine Food. Kroger stores also added recalled deli bowtie and penne pasta salads sold from Aug 29, 2025 to Oct. 2, 2025 to the list.
The CDC has identified illnesses tied to the listeria outbreak in 15 states, with the largest number of cases identified so far in Texas.
