Costco shoppers who recently bought Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand name should check their refrigerators. Handsome Brook Farms, which produces the eggs for Costco, is voluntarily recalling 10,800 retail units due to them having the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.
The eggs were distributed to 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, beginning Nov. 22, 2024. According to a company announcement, Handsome Brook Farms initiated the recall “after the company determined that eggs not intended for retail distribution were instead packaged and distributed in retail packaging."
This comes after the Food and Drug Administration changed ongoing egg recalls to Class I, which is the most serious type. No illnesses linked to the Kirkland eggs have been reported at the time of this writing.
How to Determine If Your Costco Eggs Have Been Recalled
The Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs are marked with UPC 9661910680 and the Julian code 327 on the side of the egg carton, with a Use By Date of Jan. 5, 2025. They are packaged in plastic egg cartons labeled with Kirkland Signature on the top. It's important to note that no other products are impacted by this recall. A photo of the label and the side of package codes can be found on the FDA recall page.
What to Do You If You Purchased the Recalled Kirkland Brand Eggs
Do not consume the eggs or any food that has been made with the eggs. Customers can return the eggs to a local Costco for a refund or dispose of them.
