Imports from 13 Italian pasta brands, including favorites like Barilla and Rummo are staring down a 107% tariff that could hit grocery store shelves in the United States as early as January. For shoppers, that added tax could mean paying twice as much if Italian companies choose to sell their pastas in the U.S. at all. NBC’s Brian Cheung reports for TODAY on the issue that has some consumers boiling mad.

Trump is a CLOWN 🤡
Once Trump mess with Italian’s food, it’s trouble for him.
I warned many of you years ago on YouTube to become preppers and stockpile the stuff you use.
Thanks a lot DRUMP
lol america voted for this
What’s annoying is that nothing has been done to “make America healthy again”. We just have more and more bs added to the pile of nonsense going on in our food industry. Now we won’t even have an option for good pasta
No pasta for you. You go get out of my store lol 😂
Pasta ?!?! Omg
Better stock up now
Love it. It’s all carbs anyway. 😂
Thanks Trump
Why are we importing pasta?
Worst president EVER
The MAGA Italians are gonna turn on Trump so fast his heads gonna spin!!!!!
In my opinion
Make your own noodles.
Really
Make your own noodles.
My grandma made her noodles.
Wow
Spoon fed much
MKe your own noodles
Please, Mr. Trump, it’s too much winning. I can’t take any more of it.
American pasta makers can now raise prices, say 90% to make them cheaper than Italian pasta.
Good thing i have a Kitchen Aide and a pasta piece.
We don't need pasta ! Make it ourselves besides people in the US are way over weight because its all they eat half the time .
Also Jollibee spaghetti in the US too.
You sure he's not just doing this to manipulate the market for his buddies?
barilla factories are in America though…I do like lots of the other brands, but to be honest, if your paying 4 dollars, 5 dollars a box, but then paying 11, it's still cheaper and better tasting that Olive garden. But you say, not everyone eats out and pasta is cheap food for poor people, but not if your paying for imported pasta. If your poor, your buying great value brand at walmart, this honestly hurts Trader Joe's more with it's imported bronze die pasta that runs like 1.09 a bag. just my two cents for someone who occasionally buys expensive pasta when I make my own sauces.
No way the cheap pasta off label brands are produced in Italy. There are probably some cheapskate manufacturers in the US/Canada or Mexico/Caribbean.
This is fascism,even denying foods from Italy, afruca, France,Japan,etc
Just buy italian American pasta. This is why we are buying Italian American pasta not foreign pasta. Just be smart and buy domestic pasta or hand made pasta is nice also.
Except for the fact that we have factories here in the U.S. that make pasta. What is with the constant fear mongering? Knock it off!
Thank you MAGA
Why not buy a shipping container or storage load up before tariffs
Is this insane? Yes
But these places act like they don’t have a dough mixer in the kitchen. Buy a noodle press, which as a Buisness I hope they can afford, and now you have great fresh pasta
How is this owning the libs, exactly, MAGA?
Buy American then, support American businesses and jobs….
Noooo not PASTA
Ironically, anyone notice The Pasta House locations have been getting their own storage containers to keep on site?
That's too bad. We shall not buy American-made pasta, it's much higher in carbs, too slick to hold the sauce and tastes like cardboard. Bleccchhh!
