Why it’s dangerous

The products contain undeclared allergens, specifically whey and pork, which can cause serious reactions in sensitive individuals. Additionally, the meat and poultry components were produced without federal inspection, meaning their safety and sanitation could not be verified by government standards.

Who’s affected

Consumers in California who bought Home Maid brand ravioli or pasta products from wholesale or retail locations between September 18, 2015, and January 20, 2016. Individuals with allergies to whey or pork are at specific risk of an allergic reaction.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for Home Maid brand packages produced between September 18, 2015, and January 20, 2016. Affected items include 15-oz and 12-oz boxed Ravioli, 5-lb and 10-lb bagged/boxed Ravioli with Sauce, Deluxe/Jumbo Ravioli, various Chicken/Sausage Ravioli, Italian Style Pasta Sauce in plastic containers (1-qt, 1-gal), Cheese Tortellini in Sauce, Cheese Ravioli in Sauce, Chicken Ravioli with Pesto or Marinara Sauce, and Spaghetti or Rigatoni with Sauce.
