Costco Issues Urgent Recall for Popular Food Items
American retail giant Costco has initiated an urgent product recall for two of its popular refrigerated food items due to potential plastic contamination. The recall affects specific lots of Caesar Salad and Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad sold across multiple regions in the United States.
Affected Products and Key Details
The recall was officially announced on November 7, 2025, through a notice posted on Costco's website. The company identified the possible presence of plastic foreign materials specifically in the salad dressing component of these products.
The specific products and their identification details are as follows:
- Caesar Salad with Lot #19927
- Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad with Lot #11444
Both recalled items carry Sell By dates between October 17 and November 9, 2025. This means products sold as recently as early November could be affected.
Where Were These Products Sold?
Costco has confirmed that the contaminated items were distributed to select warehouse locations across three major US regions:
- The Midwest
- The Northeast
- The Southeast
While the retailer did not provide an exhaustive list of specific store locations, customers who shopped at Costco warehouses in these regions during late October and early November are particularly advised to check their purchases.
Immediate Action Required for Customers
Costco is urging all customers to immediately inspect their refrigerators for these products. Given that the items were available for sale until November 9, there is a significant possibility that consumers may still have unopened or partially consumed packages at home.
If you identify either product matching the recalled lot numbers and sell-by dates, you must:
- Stop consuming the product immediately
- Return the item to any Costco warehouse for a complete refund
No receipt is required for the return process. Customers with additional questions or concerns can contact Costco directly through its official customer service website for further assistance regarding this food safety recall.
This recall highlights the importance of food safety protocols and prompt corporate action when potential contamination risks are identified. Costco's quick response aims to prevent any health incidents among its customer base.
