Deano’s Pasta of Somerville, Massachusetts, is recalling approximately 20 pounds of Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli after discovering the product may contain undeclared lobster — a crustacean shellfish allergen not listed on the package label. The recall was announced September 24, 2026. No illnesses have been reported. The recall was triggered by a customer complaint that led to an internal audit revealing lobster-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not disclose its presence. The product was distributed in Massachusetts only.
What’s Being Recalled?
The recall covers Deano’s Pasta Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli, sold in 1-pound frozen bags with UPC 644216993994. Four lot codes are included, found on the product label under the best-by date: 090126126, 082526126, 081826126, and 073126126. The product was distributed in retail stores in Massachusetts between August 10 and September 22, 2026.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
A production and packaging process breakdown resulted in ravioli containing lobster being packed into bags labeled as Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli — a product that does not normally contain shellfish. Lobster is a crustacean shellfish, one of the nine major food allergens under federal law. For consumers with shellfish allergies, consuming undeclared lobster can trigger reactions ranging from hives and digestive distress to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis requiring emergency treatment.
What Should You Do?
Do not eat the recalled Deano’s Pasta Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli if you have a shellfish allergy and your bag has one of the four lot codes listed above. Return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Contact Deano’s Pasta at 617-623-0013, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
