Latest Kirkland Eggs Recall Updates

The FDA terminated the Handsome Brook Farms recall on February 4, 2025. The recall covered Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs.
December 20, 2024: FDA Classifies the Recall as Class I
On December 20, 2024, the FDA classified the recall as Class I. Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level. The rating followed the company’s voluntary recall.

November 27, 2024: Company Announces a Voluntary Recall
Handsome Brook Farms announced a voluntary recall of 10,800 retail units of the eggs on November 27, 2024. ABC News reported the company’s announcement on the FDA website [2].
The announcement said the eggs had the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. It told consumers to stop eating them. The eggs were sold at Costco.
November 26, 2024: Recall Is Initiated
Handsome Brook Farms started the voluntary recall on November 26, 2024. The FDA lists the recall under number F-0314-2025 and names Handsome Brook Farms, LLC as the recalling firm.
November 22, 2024: Eggs Reach 25 Costco Stores
Distribution of the recalled eggs to 25 Costco stores began on November 22, 2024. The cartons carried the Kirkland Signature label.
Which Kirkland Eggs Are Affected?
The recall covers one product. Check the carton for these details:
- Product: Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised eggs, Grade A Large, 24-count carton, net weight 48 oz.
- UPC: 9661910680 is printed on the carton of the recalled eggs.
- Use-by date: January 5, 2025 appears on the affected cartons.
- Codes: P1363 and 327 are printed on the carton.
- Quantity: 10,800 retail units were part of the recall.
- Where sold: 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Why Were Kirkland Eggs Recalled?
Kirkland Eggs were recalled because the company determined that eggs not intended for retail distribution were packaged and sold in retail cartons. The company said the eggs have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
The FDA enforcement record gives a similar reason. It says eggs from a positive Salmonella environment were shipped into distribution to retail facilities.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The company said there were no illness complaints at the time of its November 2024 announcement. That statement comes from the company and is not an FDA count.
The CDC says Salmonella are germs that can cause an illness called salmonellosis [3]. That illness is the health risk named in this recall.
Children younger than 5, adults 65 and older and people with weakened immune systems may get severe illness. Severe illness can need treatment or hospitalization.
What Should Consumers Do?
Take these steps if you bought Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs:
- Check your carton against the affected-product list above.
- Do not eat eggs from a matching carton, because they could carry Salmonella.
- Return the eggs to Costco for a full refund, or dispose of them.
- Call Handsome Brook Farms at (888) 877-7221 if you have questions about the recall.
- If you feel sick after eating the eggs, call a health care provider and mention diarrhea, fever or stomach cramps.
Legal Options
Anyone who became ill after eating the eggs can talk with a lawyer about their options. Keep the carton, the receipt and any medical records. A recall does not automatically establish liability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Symptoms of Salmonella from Recalled Eggs?
Salmonella symptoms from recalled eggs typically begin six hours to six days after infection, according to the CDC, so illness can show up days after someone eats the eggs. Call a health care provider if you feel sick.
How Long Do Salmonella Symptoms Last?
Salmonella symptoms last four to seven days for most people. Most people recover without treatment in that time, according to the CDC as quoted by ABC News. Severe illness is more likely in the higher-risk groups the CDC names.
Can You File a Kirkland Eggs Recall Lawsuit?
Whether you can file a Kirkland eggs recall lawsuit depends on your own facts. Deadlines for injury claims come from state law and vary with where you live and when the illness and diagnosis happened. Missing one can end a claim.
