Deano’s Pasta ravioli recall: What shoppers need to know

Deano’s Pasta has recalled frozen Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli after discovering that some packages may contain lobster that isn’t declared on the label. The FDA published the allergy alert on September 24, 2026.

The affected product was distributed to retail stores in Massachusetts between August 10 and September 22, 2026. The issue matters most for people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to crustacean shellfish, because eating the ravioli could cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.

No illnesses had been reported when the FDA notice was published.

How to identify the affected ravioli

Check your freezer for Deano’s Pasta Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli sold in frozen one-pound bags. The affected packages have one of the following lot codes:

The lot code is printed on the product label under the best-by date. If the product name, package size, UPC, and lot code match the information above, do not eat it.

What to do if you bought the recalled ravioli

Do not taste or serve the ravioli, even if nobody in the household has a known shellfish allergy. Keep the package sealed if possible, and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

If you have a crustacean-shellfish allergy and may have eaten the product, watch for symptoms of an allergic reaction and seek emergency medical help for severe symptoms. Signs can include hives, swelling of the lips or throat, trouble breathing, vomiting, dizziness, or fainting. If a serious reaction is happening, call 911.

For questions about the product or the refund process, Deano’s Pasta lists a consumer contact number of (617) 623-0013. The stated hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

Why the ravioli was recalled

According to the FDA-posted company announcement, a customer complaint led to an internal audit. The investigation found that product containing lobster had been distributed in packaging that did not reveal the allergen.

The company said the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in production and packaging processes. This is an allergen-labeling issue, not a general warning that every Deano’s Pasta product contains lobster.

Does this recall affect Canada?

The FDA notice identifies Massachusetts retail stores as the distribution area. It does not identify Canadian distribution, so Canadian shoppers are not included in the affected distribution information currently available.

People who bought the product in Massachusetts, or who may have received it through someone shopping there, should still check the package carefully. Do not rely only on the product name: compare the one-pound frozen package, UPC, and lot code.

Current status of the alert

The FDA published the notice on September 24, 2026. The announcement identifies the affected product and refund instructions but does not provide a separate end date for the alert. Keep the product out of use unless Deano’s Pasta or the FDA issues updated guidance.

The practical next step is simple: check your freezer, compare the lot code, and return any matching package for a refund. If you have already discarded the packaging, contact the store or Deano’s Pasta before assuming the product is unaffected.
