Costco Recalls 10,800 Organic Egg Cartons Over Salmonella Risk
The recall affects Kirkland Signature eggs distributed to 25 stores in five southern states, with no illnesses reported so far.
- The recall involves 24-count cartons of organic, pasture-raised eggs sold under Costco's Kirkland Signature brand in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
- Handsome Brook Farms initiated the recall after eggs not intended for retail sale were mistakenly packaged and distributed starting November 22, 2024.
- Consumers are advised to check for cartons with Julian code 327, UPC 9661910680, and a 'Use By' date of January 5, 2025, printed on the side of the packaging.
- No illnesses linked to the eggs have been reported, but salmonella infections can cause severe symptoms, particularly in vulnerable populations.
- Shoppers should return the recalled eggs to Costco for a full refund or dispose of them, as additional safety measures are implemented by the supplier.
