Attention Costco shoppers: some eggs are being recalled due to a potential health hazard.

Handsome Brook Farms has voluntarily pulled 10,800 units of Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised eggs from the market because they may carry Salmonella, according to a warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recall notice was released on November 27, with the New York-based company cautioning that the eggs could be contaminated.

The recalled 24-count cartons were made available in 25 Costco outlets in five states starting from November 22, according to the notice.

“The recall was prompted when we discovered that eggs not meant for retail were accidentally packaged and sold to customers,” stated Handsome Brook Farm. “We are implementing extra supply chain measures and conducting retraining to stop this from happening again.”

No illness reports have been received as of November 27, the alert indicated.

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can cause symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. These symptoms may arise anywhere from six hours to six days after exposure and typically last four to seven days, as noted by the CDC.

Younger children (under 5), the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe infections from salmonella, according to the FDA.
