\ud83d\udea8 The Urgent Health Alert<\/h2>\n
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)<\/b> has issued an urgent public health alert for a popular pasta product sold at Costco due to a severe labeling and packaging error that poses a life-threatening risk to consumers with shellfish allergies.<\/p>\n Brand:<\/b> Giovanni Rana<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Product Name:<\/b> Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The Problem:<\/b> The product is labeled as beef and burrata, but due to a manufacturing error, the packages may actually contain shrimp filling in lobster sauce<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n USDA Inspection Mark:<\/b> Est. 44870<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Use-By Dates:<\/b> May 14, 2026, to June 25, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Distribution:<\/b> Shipped to Costco stores in Maryland and New Jersey<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued the alert for Giovanni Rana Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli (stock image)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Why is it an “Alert” and not a “Recall”?<\/b> A formal recall has not been requested because the product is no longer actively available for purchase in stores. However, the FSIS issued the alert because the product has a long shelf-life and is likely sitting in consumers’ freezers.<\/p>\n The error was discovered after the FSIS received two direct consumer complaints reporting the discrepancy. To date, no adverse reactions or illnesses have been reported.<\/p>\n Shrimp and lobster are both classified as shellfish. Roughly 3% of Americans (8.5 million people)<\/b> suffer from a shellfish allergy.<\/p>\n Consuming hidden shellfish can trigger a rapid, life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis<\/b>.<\/p>\n Symptoms of Anaphylaxis:<\/b> Hives, severe itching, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, throat swelling, and severe trouble breathing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Immediate Action Required:<\/b> Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment with epinephrine (such as an EpiPen) and emergency medical care.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you have purchased the Giovanni Rana Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli from Costco in Maryland or New Jersey:<\/p>\n Check Your Freezer:<\/b> Look for the specific use-by dates (May 14 – June 25, 2026) and the USDA mark (Est. 44870).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Do Not Consume:<\/b> If you or anyone in your household has a shellfish allergy, absolutely do not eat this product.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dispose or Return:<\/b> The FSIS strongly urges consumers to throw the product away immediately or return it to your local Costco for a full refund.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83d\udea8 The Urgent Health Alert The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued an urgent public health alert for a popular pasta product sold at Costco due to a severe labeling and packaging error that poses a life-threatening risk to consumers with shellfish allergies. \ud83c\udf5d The Affected Product Brand: Giovanni Rana Product Name:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[987],"tags":[4063,4058,4057,3893,4059,4064,2233,4060,4061,4062],"class_list":{"0":"post-9040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-healthy-living","8":"tag-anaphylaxis","9":"tag-costco","10":"tag-food-safety-alert","11":"tag-fsis","12":"tag-giovanni-rana","13":"tag-product-warning","14":"tag-public-health-2026","15":"tag-ravioli","16":"tag-shellfish-allergy","17":"tag-undeclared-allergens"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9040"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9068,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9040\/revisions\/9068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.healthoptibody.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\ud83c\udf5d The Affected Product<\/h3>\n
