Why Did Costco Recall More Than 10k Cartons of Eggs?

Why Did Costco Recall More Than 10k Cartons of Eggs?

As a seasoned gamer with a knack for staying one step ahead in every situation, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing about the Costco egg recall. My refrigerator is always stocked with those Kirkland Signature eggs, and I pride myself on my culinary skills, especially when it comes to cooking up a storm during long gaming sessions.

More than 10,000 cartons filled with organic 24-piece egg sets have been withdrawn from Costco stores in five different U.S. states. The decision to withdraw these products was made by Handsome Brook Farms of New York, the supplier, because there is a potential risk of salmonella associated with them. A press release provided further details regarding this recall. Here are some key points that customers should be aware of concerning this withdrawal:

Costco recalled over 10k cartons of eggs

Based on a recent report by CNN, Handsome Brook Farms has withdrawn around 10,800 boxes of their Organic Pasture Raised eggs. As stated in a press release from Handsome Brook Farms, posted on the US Food and Drug Administration’s website, these eggs branded as Kirkland Signature might be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacterium that can lead to severe or even fatal infections in certain groups such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

The press release from Handsome Brook Farms further discussed symptoms of Salmonella, explaining that those affected may experience symptoms like fever, diarrhea (which can be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. In exceptional cases, a Salmonella infection might spread to the bloodstream, leading to more serious health issues such as infections of the arteries (including infected aneurysms), endocarditis, or arthritis.

As a devoted shopper, I recently learned that Costco outlets in South and North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee are part of a recall process. Interestingly enough, Handsome Brook Farms specified that these recalled eggs come with plastic packaging and carry the Julian code 327. The expiration date on these egg containers is set for January 5, 2025.

As a devoted fan, I’d like to share some important information: So far, there have been no reports of illness related to this product. This action is being taken in collaboration with the FDA. If you’ve purchased the affected items, please cease consumption immediately and return them to your nearest Costco store for a complete refund, or dispose of them safely.
