Organic eggs sold at Costco recalled over salmonella concerns
Organic eggs sold at Costco are being recalled over concerns they may be contaminated with salmonella.
Approximately 10,800 retail units of organic, pasture-raised, 24-count eggs sold under Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand are being recalled by New York-based Handsome Brook Farms, according to a news release posted on the Food and Drug Administration’s website.
The affected cartons were sold in 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning Nov. 22.
The recall applies only to units with Julian code 327 and a “use by” date of Jan. 6, 2025. No other products are affected by the recall.
The recall was initiated after Handsome Brook determined that eggs not intended for stores were instead packaged and distributed in retail packaging, according to the release. Additional supply chain controls and retraining are being put in place to prevent recurrence, it said.
To date, there are no illness complaints. The recall is being done in cooperation with the FDA.
Impacted consumers should stop consuming the product and return affected units to their local Costco store for a full refund, or should dispose of the products.
