When the temperature drops outside, few foods feel as satisfying and stick-to-your-ribs good as a warm, cheesy serving of pasta. But if you often save time by opting for a frozen, boxed variety rather than layering an iconic dish from scratch at home, a new recall just recently announced may put your dinner plans on pause. 

Sprouts Farmers Market has issued a recall for its Sprouts Organic Gluten-Free Four Cheese Lasagna after the product “tested positive for gluten above the acceptable limits for Gluten-Free certification.” The recall, dated December 16, 2025, underscores the serious risks mislabeling can pose for people with celiac disease or gluten allergies, for whom even small amounts of gluten can trigger significant—and sometimes “life-threatening”—reactions, as noted in the Sprouts notice.

The recall likely affects shoppers across a wide geographic footprint. According to its website, Sprouts Farmers Market operates in approximately 24 states, with its highest concentration of stores in California, followed by Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Colorado. The chain also has stores in states such as Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, among others.

The product is packaged in a 9-ounce brown and yellow box bearing a picture of the lasagna, and can be identified by the UPC code 6-46670-51140. 

“Any consumers with a gluten allergy should not consume and immediately dispose of this product,” according to the advisory. While Sprouts has not reported illnesses linked to the product so far, the company emphasized that “nothing is more important than the health and wellness of our customers,” urging caution among anyone who relies on gluten-free labeling for medical reasons.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, roughly 6% of Americans are gluten intolerant, meaning they get sick after eating gluten—most often experiencing nausea, fatigue, and bloating. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health report that 2 million Americans have celiac disease, an autoimmune response to eating gluten which can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, iron deficiency anemia, malnutrition, skin symptoms, and even long-term damage to the intestines. 

Customers with questions are encouraged to contact Sprouts Customer Relations directly.
