Caraluzzi’s Markets has recalled its Italian Style Seafood Burgers because the packaging failed to list egg as an ingredient, which is a serious risk for people with egg allergies.
Why This Matters
Egg allergy is common and can sometimes cause severe, even life-threatening reactions called anaphylaxis. When allergens like eggs aren’t properly listed on food labels, consumers with allergies can accidentally eat dangerous products.
According to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), about 2.7 million Americans—both children and adults—are allergic to eggs. While many children outgrow this allergy, it remains a serious concern.
What You Need to Know
Caraluzzi’s, located in Bethel, Connecticut, announced on April 8 that its 8-ounce Italian Style Seafood Burgers contain eggs, but the packaging didn’t include this information.
The recalled burgers were sold between February 18 and April 2, 2025, at Caraluzzi’s stores in Bethel, Wilton, Newtown, and Danbury.
Look for a blue overwrap label and an expiration date of January 16, 2026. The UPC code is 0-95864-80008-8, printed on the back of the clear packaging.
The recall was triggered by a customer complaint that led Caraluzzi’s to discover the labeling mistake.
So far, one allergic reaction has been reported. The burgers have been pulled from store shelves.
FDA Recall Classifications
Recalls generally fall into three classes:
- Class I (Most Serious): Products that could cause serious health problems or death.
- Class II (Moderate Risk): Products that may cause temporary or reversible health effects but are unlikely to cause serious harm.
- Class III (Least Serious): Products that violate regulations but are unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
The FDA has not yet specified the class for this recall.
What To Do Next
If you bought these burgers, do not eat them. Return them to the store for a full refund.
