Bellingham Pasta Co Semolina Spaghetti Missing Wheat Allergen Declaration

Bellingham Pasta Co is recalling Semolina Spaghetti due to a labeling error: the product contains wheat (as semolina flour) but the label does not declare wheat as an allergen. Wheat-allergic consumers are at risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II allergen mislabeling: semolina flour is listed but wheat declaration is absent. No reported illnesses. Per the rubric, allergen mislabeling on common allergens without reported illness qualifies as High severity (3).

The product label lists semolina flour as an ingredient but does not declare wheat. Since semolina is a wheat-based ingredient, the label's failure to declare wheat creates a labeling error that poses a risk to consumers with wheat allergies or sensitivities.
