Italian pasta could vanish from American grocery shelves. Here’s why

Several popular pasta brands imported from Italy may soon vanish from American grocery shelves, according to multiple media outlets.

This is because the U.S. government has proposed a 107% total tariff in imported Italian pastas, which could result in a spike in American consumer prices and the disappearance of many iconic brands, including ones that make pasta, Newsweek reported.

This rate is a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the final decision is expected to be issued by Jan. 2, 2026.

The major increase would come after the department launched an investigation into whether Italian pasta producers are violating “antidumping laws” by exporting its goods at rates that undercut U.S. companies, according to the Italian media outlet Corriere della Sera .
