The FDA has issued a high-level warning about thousands of eggs distributed to Costco locations in five states, citing a “reasonable possibility” that eating them could lead to serious health consequences or death. The affected product is the Handsome Brook Farms brand of Signature Organic Pasture-Raised 24-Count Eggs.
Approximately 10,800 retail units were sent to 25 Costco locations starting November 22. Although the eggs were initially recalled just five days after distribution on Nov. 27, the FDA reclassified the recall to Class 1 – the agency’s highest alert level – on Friday. The affected cartons include numbers 327 and P1363 with a use-by date of Jan. 5, 2025.
Consumers are advised not to eat these eggs and should return them to Costco for a full refund or dispose of them. Salmonella can cause severe infections, especially in children, older people, and those with weakened immune systems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
