Check your fridge Costco members: these eggs are being recalled for a foodborne illness.  

Handsome Brook Farms issued a voluntary recall for 10,800 retail units of Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised eggs due to a potential health risk, the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) recall alert said. In the Nov. 27 alert, the New York-based company said that the recalled eggs could be “contaminated with Salmonella.”  

The 24-count recalled eggs were distributed in 25 Costco stores in five states beginning on Nov. 22, the alert said.  

“The recall was initiated after the company determined that eggs not intended for retail distribution were instead packaged and distributed in retail packaging,” Handsome Brook Farm said in its recall. “Additional supply chain controls and retraining are being put in place to prevent recurrence.” 

As of Nov. 27, there have been no illness of complaints reported, the alert said.

What is salmonella?

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause people to experience diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. Symptoms can appear between six hours and six days of infection and will last for four to seven days, the CDC said.
