More than 10,000 batches of the Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand name at Costco were recalled due to potential salmonella contamination.

The eggs, produced by New York-based Handsome Brook Farms, were distributed to 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee beginning November 22nd.

“The Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs with UPC 9661910680 are packaged in plastic egg cartons labeled with Kirkland Signature on the top. The recall only applies to units with the Julian code 327 and a Use By Date of Jan 5, 2025, which can be found printed on the side of the plastic egg carton. No other products are impacted by this recall,” the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said.

“The recall was initiated after the company determined that eggs not intended for retail distribution were instead packaged and distributed in retail packaging. Additional supply chain controls and retraining are being put in place to prevent recurrence,” the agency added.

From the New York Post:

So far, no one has reported falling sick. However, salmonella “can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” the recall notice warned.

Even healthy people “often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain,” the FDA notes.

Per CBS News:

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.
