Costco has recalled Meatloaf With Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze premade meal kits because one of the ingredients may be contaminated with salmonella, according to a letter sent to members. Salmonella is one of the most common types of bacteria that can cause food poisoning; infection is especially hazardous to young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with compromised immune systems.
Costco said there have been no reported illnesses related to this recall.
The company initiated the recall after an alert from one of its suppliers. The letter did not specify which ingredient may be to blame.
The recall includes meatloaf meal kits with sell-by dates between 03/05/2026 and 03/16/2026. Kits without these sell-by dates are not affected.
The recalled meal kits were available for purchase in the following U.S. states and territories: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Do not eat the recalled meal kits. Costco members can return them for a full refund, the letter said.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Salmonella Infection
Symptoms of salmonella infection can begin anywhere from six hours to six days after eating contaminated food.
In healthy people, salmonella infection can cause:
Fever
Headache
Diarrhea (which may be bloody)
Stomach cramps
Nausea and vomiting
These symptoms can last four to seven days, and during that time dehydration is the biggest concern. If you’re dealing with a bout of food poisoning, drink plenty of clear fluids while you recover.
In severe cases, salmonella infection can spread from the intestines to the blood, and could lead to life-threatening complications without prompt medical attention.
Most cases of salmonella poisoning get better on their own, but if you have a weakened immune system, or if your symptoms are severe, you should seek medical care.
