Barilla Pasta Company is a private and family owned company and is owned by the parent company of Barilla Holding S.p.A.

The Barilla Pasta Company was founded in the year 1877 by Pietro Barilla and is the worlds largest Pasta Producer.

Some Barilla Pasta is made with eggs and if it is made with eggs the packaging will state whether or not it has eggs in it.

However Barilla Pasta does not contain any fish, soy, peanut oil or peanuts so it's safe to eat Barilla Pasta if you're allergic to those things.

Barilla Pasta that is sold in the United States is made in Ames, IA and Avon, NY.

However the Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne and the Barilla Tortellini are made in Italy.

So yes some of Barillas products are made in Italy even though they are sold in the USA.

But the regular Barilla Pasta is made in the USA in plants in Avon NY and Ames IA.

Barilla is an Italian multinational food company and is the worlds largest producer of Pasta.

The plant where the Barilla Pasta is made at is noted on the pasta packaging by a code letter, whereas products made in Italy are explicitly labeled as being made in Italy.
