FSIS issues public health alert for ravioli pasta with beef sauce
FSIS sends out alert for ravioli pasta products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.
Ravioli pasta with beef sauce, covered under the FSIS public health alert
The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for ravioli pasta products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The ravioli labeled as beef and burrata may actually contain shrimp filling in lobster sauce. The shrimp and lobster, known allergens (shellfish), are not declared on the product label. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers with shellfish allergies are aware that this product should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The ravioli pasta items were produced between March 10 and April 21, 2026. The following product is subject to the public health alert: 32-ounce plastic bag packages containing “Giovanni Rana RANA Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli” with “use by” dates ranging 05/14/2026 – 06/25/2026.
The product bears establishment number “Est. 44870” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to Costco retail stores in Maryland and New Jersey.
The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that they received two consumer complaints reporting the beef sauce and burrata ravioli actually contained shrimp ravioli.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
