Consumer Protection Issues Food Safety Warning for Durante Pasta Potato Gnocchi
Durante Pasta Inc. is voluntarily recalling the product, which may contain milk and sulfite allergens
FEBRUARY 10, 2022 — The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection Food, Standards and Product Safety division is urging Connecticut residents to check their freezers for Durante Pasta Inc., Potato Gnocchi.
West Haven-based Durante Pasta Inc. is voluntarily recalling Durante’s Pasta Potato Gnocchi that may contain milk, an allergen, which is not on the label. Milk is a common allergen that can cause serious or life-threatening reactions to those who have an allergy and consume the product. The product may also contain undeclared sulfites.
“It's incredibly important to ensure that food products are labeled appropriately, especially when they may contain allergens that can threaten our health," said Consumer Protection Commissioner Michelle H. Seagull. "We hope that consumers will take caution and return this product quickly if they have a milk or sulfite allergy, and we thank Durante Pasta for cooperating with the recall."
This item was sold in select Connecticut stores including:
- Liuzzi Market, North Haven
- CT Natural, Wallingford
- Northford Store, Northford
- Westside Market, Rocky Hill
- Charlie’s Meat Market, North Haven
- ShopRite Wallingford, Wallingford

Customers with a milk or sulfite allergy or sensitivity who have purchased the affected product are urged not to consume it and dispose of it or return it to the point of purchase.
To date no illnesses have been reported.
