TENNESSEE, USA — The United States Food and Drug Administration said Handsome Brook Farms is voluntarily recalling eggs sold at Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
According to the FDA, the company said the eggs could be contaminated with salmonella because the company determined they were not fit to be sold.
"Handsome Brook Farms are putting measures in place to ensure it does not happen again," the company said.
According to a release from the FDA units of the Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs were distributed to 25 Costco stores across these southern states, starting on Nov. 22.
"The Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs with UPC 9661910680 are packaged in plastic egg cartons labeled with Kirkland Signature on the top," the release said. "The recall only applies to units with the Julian code 327 and a Use By Date of Jan 5, 2025, which can be found printed on the side of the plastic egg carton."
No other products are part of this recall, the release said.
According to the FDA, the company is putting policies in place to prevent this from happening again.
"Impacted consumers should stop consuming the product and should return the identified units to their local Costco store for a full refund or should dispose of the products," the release said. "For those who have additional questions, please contact Handsome Brook Farms via phone at 646-733-4532, ext. 1, Monday through Friday, 9 AM – 6 PM EST or contact us at any time at recall@hbfeggs.com."
