Brooklyn fresh-pasta maker La Trafila has pulled dozens of refrigerated and frozen pasta products after state inspectors found many labels missing required warnings for milk and/or wheat, allergens that can cause severe, potentially life‑threatening reactions. The recall affects both consumer‑size containers and bulk packages sold to restaurants and shops, and officials say no illnesses have been reported so far.
State Alert Calls Out Dozens of Shapes and Flavors
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets issued a consumer alert on Wednesday naming numerous La Trafila products. The notice flags SKUs that list cheeses or flour types on the label but do not declare milk or wheat in the allergen statement. The alert warns that “Consumers who purchased LA TRAFILA PASTA PRODUCTS covered under this recall who are allergic to milk and/or wheat should not consume these products.”
Examples on the state’s list include Tomato & Mozzarella Gnocchi (best by Feb. 19, 2026), Lemon Bucatini (bulk, best by Mar. 21, 2026), and both refrigerated and frozen specialty shapes. The department’s online alert includes a full product table and storage notes for anyone trying to match items in their fridge or freezer.
Brooklyn Maker Shares Contact Info and Product Lines
La Trafila’s own website describes the company as a Brooklyn‑based producer that makes pre‑made fresh pasta in bulk, consumer‑sized portions, and as pasta kits, according to La Trafila. The site lists its Brooklyn production location and provides [email protected] as a contact email for questions, including concerns about recalled items.
Restaurants, Shops Told to Pull and Relabel Bulk Stock
State officials are also warning businesses that buy La Trafila in bulk. The alert instructs retailers and food‑service customers who received bulk non‑flex plastic containers to request revised labels or updated ingredient declarations so milk and wheat appear clearly, and to pull affected inventory until corrected, according to the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. Local coverage has underscored how many flavors and formats are caught up in the recall, as PIX11 reported.
Shoppers with milk or wheat allergies are urged to check product labels and best‑by dates and to avoid any La Trafila item that matches entries on the recall table. If there is any doubt, consumers are advised to contact their retailer or reach out to La Trafila directly. Press contacts for state officials are listed in the online alert, and authorities reiterate that no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled products to date.
