Giovanni Rana Ravioli Pasta Contains Undeclared Shellfish Allergen

USDA FSIS issued a public health alert for Giovanni Rana ravioli sold at Costco in Maryland and New Jersey. Products labeled as beef and burrata actually contain shrimp in lobster sauce, an undeclared shellfish allergen.

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: The recall involves undeclared shellfish allergens on a common allergen, which meets the High (score 3) criterion for allergen mislabeling. Although no illnesses have been reported, shellfish allergies pose a direct risk of harm to affected consumers, and the source explicitly states FSIS is concerned about product remaining in homes.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on May 4, 2026, for Giovanni Rana Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The 32-ounce plastic bag packages with "use by" dates ranging from 05/14/2026 to 06/25/2026 are affected. These products were produced between March 10, 2026, and April 21, 2026, and were shipped to Costco stores in Maryland and New Jersey.

The ravioli products are mislabeled. While the packaging states the contents are beef sauce and burrata cheese, the actual product contains shrimp filling in lobster sauce. Both shrimp and lobster are shellfish allergens that are not declared on the product label. FSIS became aware of the problem when the manufacturer, Rana Meal Solutions, LLC, notified the agency of two consumer complaints about receiving shrimp ravioli instead of beef and burrata ravioli.

As of the alert issuance, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consuming these products. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may remain in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with shellfish allergies should be especially cautious. A full recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
