Following the recall of four products in the course of just one week, Costco is now removing yet another food item off its shelves due to the possibility that it poses a threat to consumers’ health. The fact that this current recall is centered on a seafood product that is a mainstay at Costco and is a favorite of many customers is disheartening for those who buy there.
This year, Costco customers who purchased Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon between October 9 and October 13 received a notification on October 22. The message was sent out to those members. The notification said that Acme Smoked Fish Corp., located in New York, the supplier of the smoked salmon, has voluntarily recalled some batches of the product because there is a possibility that they possess Listeria contamination.
The Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon that is located in certain warehouses in the Southeast area is the only product that is affected by this recall, which is fortunate for Costco customers who live in other regions of the country. Each of the concerned goods has the lot number 8512801270 written on the front of the box, followed by the date that is considered to be the best by date.
Those individuals who still possess the recalled smoked salmon in their homes should hold off on ingesting it and instead bring it back to their neighborhood warehouse in order to receive a complete refund. Additionally, customers who have any further inquiries or issues may get in touch with Acme Smoked Fish Corporation by calling (718) 383-8585.
“We regret this unfortunate event and have taken immediate corrective action to ensure that the problem never happens again,” the recall notification stated in its entirety.
The bacteria known as listeria have the ability to infect a wide variety of foods and make people sick if they ingest them. It is possible for other individuals to become infected with Listeria; however, the bacterium can be particularly dangerous to pregnant women, newborns, older persons, and those with compromised immune systems, as stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In most cases, symptoms appear anywhere from a few days to a few weeks after exposure. These symptoms may include fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and other symptoms that are similar to those of the flu.
In the same way that Listeria was responsible for the recall of Kirkland Signature Smoked Salmon, it is also responsible for some of the other recalls that their consumers have experienced this month at Costco. The Rana Chicken Truffle Carbonara, the Rana Tagliatelle Grilled White Chicken & Portobello Mushroom Sauce, the El Monterey Mexican Grill Chicken & Cheese Taquitos, and the Red’s Southwestern Grilled Chicken Mini Burritos are the four goods that were recalled from Costco in the period of one week earlier in the month of October.
The protein supplier BrucePac was the one who triggered the major recall, which resulted in all of these food products being removed from stores. More than eleven million pounds of ready-to-eat beef items that were given to restaurants, schools, and other organizations are affected by the recall.
Other firms also repackage BrucePac meats or repurpose them in their own goods, which results in linked recalls for even more products that include components from the supplier. Some examples of these products are Rana meal kits, taquitos, and tiny burritos.
In accordance with a notification that was published on the BrucePac website, as of October 17 there have been no confirmed reports of untoward reactions to the meats that were recalled.
