Costco eggs sold under the Kirkland brand are recalled due to salmonella risk
Some Costco eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand are being recalled due to the risk of salmonella, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs were sold at 25 Costco locations across several states, according to the notice. The recall covers 10,800 packages of eggs, which are from Handsome Brook Farm and were distributed to the Costco stores starting on Nov. 22.
On Friday, the FDA updated the recall to Class 1, putting it in the category of having a "reasonable probability" that consuming the recalled eggs could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
There haven't been any reports of illnesses linked to the eggs, the FDA said.
The states where the eggs were sold are:
- Alabama
- Georgia
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
The recalled eggs are packaged in plastic egg cartons labeled with Kirkland Signature on the top, and with UPC 9661910680 printed on their containers. The FDA said the recall only applies to egg cartons with the Julian code 327 and a "use by" date of January 5, 2025, which is also printed on the side of the package.
"No other products are impacted by this recall," the FDA said.
What to do with Costco recalled eggs
Consumers who bought the eggs shouldn't eat them, and instead should return them to their local Costco store for a refund, or throw out the eggs, the FDA said.
