Kodiak Frozen Waffles and Rock River Cattle Co. Smokey Hibachi Seasoned Beef Skirt Steak have been recalled. The recalls were initiated voluntarily by the respective manufacturers earlier this month, and both products were sold at Costco. If you’re a dedicated Costco shopper, keep reading for more information, including exactly which products are included in the recall and what you should do if you’ve purchased them.

Kodiak Frozen Waffle & Skirt Steak Recall

The Kodiak recall applies to the Protein Packed Power Waffles in Buttermilk & Vanilla flavor. Sold at Costco in boxes of 40 and boasting 12 grams of protein in each serving, this is a breakfast staple for many, but unfortunately, plastic pieces have been discovered in some of the waffles. If you live in the Midwest and have recently purchased the Power Waffles, check to make sure your package isn't included in the recall. The recalled products have a UPC code of 705599019203 and a use by date of 1/10/26 and a lot code of 24193-WL4.

The Smokey Hibachi Seasoned Beef Skirt Steak recall applies to packages with a sell by date of 9/13/2024, and while no plastic pieces have been found in this product, it was recalled because it contains soy, wheat, and sesame, all serious allergens, all of which were not listed on the ingredients label.

What To Do If You've Purchased The Recalled Products

Kodiak released a statement along with their recall, which reads, "The quality, safety, and integrity of our products is our number one priority at Kodiak. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and appreciate your cooperation in this matter." If you've purchased the waffles, you can return them to Costco for a full refund, and if you have any outstanding questions or concerns, you can contact Kodiak via email or phone at flapjacks@kodiakcakes.com or (801) 328-4067.

The Rock River Cattle Co. recall also instructs consumers to return their product to Costco for a full refund if the sell by date matches. Any further questions or comments can be directed to the American Foods Group hotline at (800) 829-2838 or email info@AmericanFoodsGroup.com.
