Handsome Brook Farms is recalling 10,800 units of Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs under the Kirkland Signature brand due to potential Salmonella contamination, which can cause severe infections, particularly in vulnerable populations. The eggs, distributed in 25 Costco stores across five states starting November 22, 2024, are marked with UPC 9661910680 and Julian code 327, with a Use By Date of January 5, 2025. Consumers should return or dispose of the product and can contact Handsome Brook Farms for more information.
New York, New York — Handsome Brook Farms is voluntarily recalling 10,800 retail units of the Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand name because these eggs have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
These units of the Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs were distributed into 25 Costco stores in the States of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee beginning November 22, 2024.
The Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs with UPC 9661910680 are packaged in plastic egg cartons labeled with Kirkland Signature on the top. The recall only applies to units with the Julian code 327 and a Use By Date of Jan 5, 2025, which can be found printed on the side of the plastic egg carton. No other products are impacted by this recall.
The recall was initiated after the company determined that eggs not intended for retail distribution were instead packaged and distributed in retail packaging. Additional supply chain controls and retraining are being put in place to prevent recurrence.
To date there are no illness complaints. This recall is being done in cooperation with the FDA.
Impacted consumers should stop consuming the product and should return the identified units to their local Costco store for a full refund or should dispose of the products.
