FDA Recall: Deano’s Pasta Pear-Pecorino Ravioli for Undeclared Lobster Allergen

Important notice for anyone with shellfish allergies: Deano’s Pasta has voluntarily recalled specific lots of its Pear & Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli after undeclared lobster was discovered in the product. If you bought this frozen ravioli in Massachusetts between August 10 and September 22, 2026, do not eat it; return it for a full refund.

Why Deano’s Pasta Issued the Recall

An internal audit—triggered by a customer complaint—revealed that lobster-filled ravioli had been packaged in bags labeled only as Pear & Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli. Because lobster is a major allergen, anyone sensitive to shellfish could suffer a severe or even life-threatening reaction.
