Costco Egg Recall: What Happened?

Jan. 21, 2020 – The nationwide recall [1] of foods containing hard-boiled eggs has been expanded to include Kirkland Signature 2 Count Organic Hard-Cooked Eggs, which are sold exclusively at Costco stores and online.

This outbreak has caused at least seven severe illnesses, including one death. Two days later, Almark issued a recall for 10 of its hard-boiled egg products.

On December 23, the recall expanded to include at least 88 products sold under multiple brand names nationwide. Kirkland Signature Organic Hard-Cooked Eggs sold at Costco are among the affected products. Click on the link to view a complete list of recalled eggs [2].
