The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a public health alert regarding Kirkland Signature Ravioli sold at Costco due to the potential for undeclared shellfish. This poses a serious health risk to individuals with shellfish allergies, who are advised to avoid consuming the affected product.

The specific ravioli product recalled is Kirkland Signature Cheese Ravioli, 30 oz package, with "best by" dates of September 21, 2024, and September 28, 2024. Costco has removed the product from its shelves and is actively notifying customers who may have purchased the ravioli. It is crucial for consumers to carefully review food labels, especially for individuals with known allergies, as undeclared allergens are a common cause of food recalls.

Symptoms of shellfish allergies can range from mild reactions like hives and itching to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis. Anyone experiencing such symptoms after consuming the ravioli should seek immediate medical attention. Costco is urging customers who have purchased the recalled ravioli to discard the product or return it to Costco for a full refund. Customers with questions or concerns can contact Costco's customer service department for more information.
