Multiple pasta manufacturers issued recalls for allergens and bacterial contamination

Several pasta products sold in the United States and the United Kingdom were pulled from shelves between September 2025 and early 2026 after safety checks revealed serious problems. In the UK, Minton & Donello's organic white orzo was found to contain wheat and gluten that were not listed on the packaging, putting people with allergies at risk. In the US, Nate's Fine Foods expanded a recall on 30 September 2025 after pre-cooked pasta, including fettuccine and linguine, tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous bacterium. The contaminated products had reached major supermarket chains across the country. A Listeria outbreak connected to these products was confirmed closed by February 2026. Separately, Perfect Pasta's Lobster and Crab Ravioli was recalled in March 2026 for containing several undeclared seafood ingredients and soy.
