The hazard: Undeclared fish or shellfish

An undeclared allergen — fish or shellfish — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

What the notice says: People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Crustacean Shellfish (Lobster) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Why it matters: The label does not declare fish or shellfish, so anyone who reads labels to avoid it has no way of knowing it is in there. For people without that allergy the product is safe to eat.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What the company announced

Deano’s Pasta of Somerville, MA is recalling approximately 20 lbs. of Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli, because it may contain undeclared Lobster. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to Crustacean Shellfish (Lobster) run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli was distributed in Massachusetts in retail stores between 8/10/26 and 9/22/26.

Deano’s Pasta brand Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli was packed in 1 lb. bags frozen, with lot codes 090126126, 082526126,081826126, and 073126126. The lot code can be found on the product label under best by date.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

The recall was initiated after a customer complaint led to an internal audit discovering that product containing Lobster was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of the allergen. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes.

Consumers who have purchased Deano’s Pasta Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli should not consume the product and are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Deano’s Pasta at (617) 623-0013, Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm EST.

What to do about Fish

Deano’s Pasta — An undeclared allergen — fish or shellfish — is the whole reason for this notice. The food itself is not spoiled or contaminated.

  1. If anyone in your household avoids fish or shellfish, stop serving the product immediately and check whether any was used in food already prepared.
  2. Make sure the household epinephrine auto-injector is where it should be and in date, if someone here carries one.
  3. If a reaction has already happened, report it to the FDA through its consumer complaint coordinator so the case is attached to this recall.
  4. Tell anyone else who eats from your kitchen, including childminders, schools and anyone catering an event you contributed to.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased Deano’s Pasta Pear and Pecorino Triangoli Ravioli should not consume the product and are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
