The FDA has announced a nationwide recall of certain eggs sold at Costco warehouses due to concerns over Salmonella contamination. The affected eggs were produced by an egg supplier and distributed to various retailers, including Costco.
According to the FDA, the eggs pose a risk to public health and consumers are advised to discard them immediately. The agency is urging anyone who has purchased eggs from Costco in recent days to check their cartons for any visible cracks or damage.
While there have been no reported illnesses associated with the recalled eggs, the potential risk of Salmonella infection cannot be ignored. Consumers should exercise caution when handling eggs and take steps to prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen.
The recall affects multiple states across the US, including Georgia, where Costco is headquartered. The FDA is working closely with retailers and regulatory agencies to ensure that all affected eggs are removed from store shelves and destroyed.
In the meantime, consumers can check the USDA’s website for a list of recalled egg products and follow proper food safety guidelines to minimize the risk of foodborne illness.
