Costco is recalling nearly 260,000 Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs due to a potential salmonella contamination. The FDA has upgraded the recall to class 1, indicating a reasonable probability of serious health consequences or death.

Nearly 260,000 eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand in 25 Costco stores were recalled at the end of November. The FDA updated the egg recall to class 1, meaning there's a 'reasonable probability' that eating the eggs will 'cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' 10,800 units of 24-count eggs—for a total of almost 260,000 eggs—sold under the Kirkland Signature brand at Costco over several weeks.

The affected eggs were sold in 25 Costco stores across five states, beginning on Nov. 22. With a use-by date of Jan. 5, 2025, the recalled eggs may still be in consumers' fridges. The recall applies to Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs packaged in plastic cartons with the UPC 9661910680 and Julian code 327. The FDA advises consumers to return the recalled eggs to their local Costco store for a refund, or throw them away. Symptoms typically begin six hours to six days after consuming the contaminated food and go away within a week without medical treatment. Young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems may develop more serious or life-threatening infections
