The producer has recalled thousands of Kirkland Signature organic eggs due to salmonella concerns.
Costco Just Recalled 10,800 Cartons of Its Kirkland-Brand Eggs
Published on Dec. 02, 2024
Costco shoppers should hold off on the holiday baking for now. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) posted the recall after Handsome Brook Farms voluntarily recalled eggs that may have been contaminated with salmonella. The farm produces eggs for Costco under the Kirkland Signature brand.
What eggs are affected by the Costco egg recall?
The recall affects 10,800 cartons of eggs distributed to 25 Costco locations in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The eggs would have been on shelves at Costco starting on November 22. If the label on any of your recently purchased eggs has UPC 9661910680, code 327 printed on the side of the plastic carton and a Best By date of January 5, then throw the carton away.
What caused the recall?
Handsome Brook Farms found that its eggs not intended for retail were mistakenly packaged in retail packaging and distributed. The company plans to implement additional supply chain controls and provide further training to prevent this dangerous mistake from happening again.
What should I do next?
Return any affected Kirkland Signature eggs to Costco for a full refund or throw the eggs out.
Be aware that symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever. If you feel ill and have recently purchased the specified eggs at Costco, contact your health care provider.
