The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a recent recall of eggs sold at Costco as a Class I recall, the most serious level, due to potential salmonella contamination.

The recall, initiated by Handsome Brook Farms, involved 10,800 cartons of Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised eggs. The company determined that eggs not intended for retail sale were inadvertently packaged and distributed to consumers.

A Class I recall signifies a “reasonable probability” that the recalled product could cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

While no illnesses have been reported in connection with this specific recall, the FDA emphasizes the potential severity of salmonella infection, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.

Salmonella infection can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, typically appearing within six hours to six days after exposure and lasting for several days.

Consumers are urged to check their egg cartons for the following information:

  • UPC: 9661910680
  • Julian Code: 327
  • Use By Date: January 5, 2025

Eggs with this combination of markings should be discarded immediately.

This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of food safety and the need for vigilant monitoring of the food supply chain. Consumers are encouraged to be aware of food recalls and take necessary precautions to protect their health.
