Costco Issues Warning as 10,000 Products Are Recalled Over Salmonella Fears

/0 Comments/in , /by

Costco has issued a warning after eggs were recalled in five states across the country over a potential salmonella contamination.

On November 27, Handsome Brook Farms issued a recall notice of 10,800 units of Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand name.

The eggs were sold at 25 Costco stores across Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning on November 22 2024.

The recall was initiated after the company found that eggs not intended for distribution were packaged and distributed in retail packaging by mistake.

Shauna Grob, head of operations and finance at Handsome Brook Farms, told Newsweek: ‘No illnesses have been reported at all. We have received a number of consumer calls to confirm whether the units they had in their possession were recall-able, but that has been the only interactions we have had with consumers thus far since releasing press release and notice to Costco consumers.’ (Read more from “Costco Issues Warning as 10,000 Products Are Recalled Over Salmonella Fears” HERE)

Officials Issue High-Risk Recall of Candy Due to Salmonella Fears

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sweet treats found in several stores across the nation are being recalled due to the risk of salmonella, which can cause serious illness.

Some of the retailers affected are Walmart, Target, and Dollar General where Palmer Candy Company’s “White Coated Confectionary Items” are sold, Fox Business reported Saturday.

The company is recalling the treats because “they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” the FDA noted in May.

“Palmer Candy was notified by its liquid coating supplier that there was a potential for contamination with salmonella from an ingredient that was potentially contaminated from one of their suppliers,” officials added.

On Tuesday, the recall was deemed at the highest risk level, which is a class one. However, there are no reports of people being hurt or made sick. (Read more from “Officials Issue High-Risk Recall of Candy Due to Salmonella Fears” HERE)
