Costco is recalling Kirkland Signature eggs due to potential salmonella

The eggs were sent to Costco stores in five states.

Costco shoppers who recently purchased 24-count organic pasture-raised 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 stores because they may be contaminated with salmonella.

The eggs were distributed to 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee starting November 22, 2024. According to a company release, Handsome Brook Farms initiated the recall “after the company determined that the eggs not intended for retail distribution were instead packaged and distributed in retail packaging.”

This comes after the Food and Drug Administration upgraded the ongoing egg recalls to Class I, the most serious type. At the time of writing, no illnesses have been reported associated with the Kirkland eggs.
