Costco members are urged to inspect their refrigerators after Handsome Brook Farms announced a voluntary recall of 10,800 retail units of Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised eggs. The recall, issued on November 27, was prompted by concerns that these eggs may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria linked to foodborne illnesses.
The recall applies to 24-count cartons of Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised eggs distributed to 25 Costco stores across Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. According to Handsome Brook Farms, the issue arose when eggs meant for non-retail use were mistakenly packaged for retail sale. The company has since implemented stricter supply chain measures and staff retraining to prevent future errors.

Consumers are advised to check for eggs labeled with Julian code 327 and a "use by" date of January 5, 2025. This information is printed on the side of the plastic egg carton. The recall affects only this specific batch, and no other products are impacted.

If you have purchased the recalled eggs, you should return them to Costco for a full refund or dispose of them. For further assistance, customers can contact Handsome Brook Farms by phone, seven days a week, or via email.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. Symptoms generally appear within six hours to six days after infection and last up to a week. While most people recover without medical treatment, young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of severe complications.

Fortunately, no illnesses or complaints linked to these eggs have been reported as of November 27. Nevertheless, Handsome Brook Farms and the Food and Drug Administration urge caution to ensure consumer safety.

In recent months, recalls for various food products, including ground beef, cucumbers, and organic carrots, have highlighted the importance of vigilance in preventing foodborne illnesses. This latest recall serves as a reminder for consumers to check food labels carefully and stay informed about potential health risks.
