‘Do not eat’ warning issued as popular ready-meal is urgently pulled from shelves due to risk of deadly reaction

Shoppers have been urged to bin a popular beef lasagne ready-meal after some packs were discovered to contain a lobster version of the dish, posing a possible allergy threat.

Health chiefs last night issued an urgent recall of La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne, citing ‘a packing error’ as the cause of the issue.

The Food Standards Agency warned that ‘some packs may contain Prawn & Lobster Lasagne, that contains crustaceans, (prawns and lobster), which are not mentioned on the label’.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans. 

The affected product is La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne, in the pack size of 700g.

Shoppers should look for batch code L0B510816, with a use by 17 June 2025.

The alert claims Giovanni Rana Ltd ‘is recalling the above product from customers’ and the company added: ‘If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to crustaceans, do not eat it. 

‘Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund, even without a receipt.’ More to follow…
