The FDA is urging people who purchased the recalled pasta and seafood to avoid eating them. Customers should either return the products or throw them away.

People who purchased these products should, out of an abundance of caution, thoroughly sanitize any surfaces or areas that came into contact with them. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and spread easily to other foods and surfaces.

The FDA reports that listeria can cause serious and even deadly infections in young children, frail or older adults and those who have weakened immune systems. Other people may develop symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, stiffness, headache, fever and nausea. Listeria can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.

If you have questions about this recall, contact Demers Food Group’s customer service at 1-800-239-9731 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST from Monday to Friday.
