Handsome Brook Farms is recalling 10,800 units of Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. This bacteria can cause serious infections, especially in young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella might experience fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. In rare cases, the infection can spread to the bloodstream and cause severe problems like artery infections, heart infections, or arthritis
The affected eggs were distributed to 25 Costco locations in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee starting November 22, 2024. The recall applies specifically to eggs packaged in plastic cartons labeled with the Kirkland Signature brand and marked with Julian code 327 and a Use By Date of January 6, 2025, which is printed on the side of the carton. The UPC for the recalled product is 9661910680. No other products or batches are impacted by this recall.
The issue was identified after it was discovered that eggs not intended for retail distribution were mistakenly packaged and sold to consumers. Handsome Brook Farms has initiated the recall in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent any potential health risks. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled eggs. The company has implemented additional supply chain controls and retraining measures to ensure this mistake does not recur.
Consumers are urged to stop consuming the affected eggs immediately and either return them to Costco for a full refund or dispose of them safely. Consumers who bought this product are urged to avoid consuming this product and seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms.
