Eggs Pulled From Costco Stores After Being Classified ‘Highest Threat Level’ For Salmonella

Attention Costco shoppers and members! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported that hundreds of thousands of eggs sold at Costcos in the Southeastern United States are part of a recall due to a significant risk of salmonella contamination. These eggs, supplied by Handsome Brook Farms, were recalled on December 20, 2024, under the FDA’s most severe classification, Category 1.

This category indicates that the product has a high chance of causing serious health issues or even death if consumed.

In November 2024, more than 10,000 cartons of eggs from Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand were voluntarily pulled from shelves due to fears of salmonella contamination, even though no illnesses had been reported at that time. We’ll break down what else we know about the recall.
