Costco Announced Recalls on 3 Popular Products This Week

According to recent posts to the recalls and product notices section of the warehouse chain’s website, Costco announced three different product recalls within the last week. The most recent Costco recall involves shelf-stable and frozen products: Nutristore Freeze Dried Deluxe Meat, Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon, and Krusteaz Belgian Waffles.

According to the statement released by Nutristore Foods, the brand has issued a voluntary recall of the freeze-dried grilled chicken included in its Nutristore Deluxe Meat Variety #10 Cans due to the potential of listeria contamination in chicken provided by one of its suppliers. “If you have any of the cans of chicken remaining, do not consume them,” the release reads, “please return the variety pack to Costco or Costco.com for a full refund.”

Acme Smoked Fish Corp., which supplies Costco’s Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon, indicated in a statement that its recall is due to “potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes,” bacteria that causes the listeriosis infection. The same potential contamination could be found in Krusteaz Belgian Waffles sold at Costco between Oct. 13 and 24, according to a statement about the Krusteaz recall.
