🛒 What To Do If You Bought This Recalled Pasta

⚠️ 1. Do NOT eat the product

The recalled Lobster & Crab Ravioli contains multiple undeclared allergens (shrimp, crab, lobster, pollock, whiting, soy).
For anyone with shellfish, fish, or soy allergies, this can trigger a life‑threatening reaction.

📦 2. Check your package

Look for these details:

• Product: Lobster & Crab Ravioli

• Brand/Manufacturer: Perfect Pasta, Inc.

• Manufactured on: January 19, 2026

• Package size: 10‑lb containers

• Where sold: Distributed only in Utah

• Quantity affected: 42 cases

If your product matches, treat it as part of the recall.

🗑️ 3. Dispose of it or return it

You have two safe options:

• Throw it away so no one accidentally consumes it

• Return it to the retailer for a refund (stores typically honor recalls even without a receipt)

🩺 4. If you already ate it

Watch for signs of an allergic reaction, such as:

• Hives or itching

• Swelling of lips, face, or throat

• Trouble breathing

• Vomiting or stomach pain

• Dizziness

If symptoms appear, seek immediate medical attention.
