Federal food regulators raised their alarm for recalled eggs sold from Costco stores over possible salmonella exposure, reclassifying the targeted product to its highest risk level.
The FDA announced on Nov. 27 that New York-Handsome Brook Farms had recalled about 10,800 retail units of 24-count organic, pasture-raised eggs sold under Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand.
In an updated notice issued Friday, the FDA reclassified to recall to Class I, which it calls a "reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."
The targeted egg cartons were sold in 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning Nov. 22.
The "Organic Pasture Raised" eggs, sold in sets of 24, have a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 9661910680 with a use-by date of Jan 5, 2025.
