Handsome Brook Farms, based in Franklin, New York, has issued a voluntary recall of Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold under the Kirkland Signature brand name due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections in animals and humans, especially those in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Background
The recall was initiated after the company discovered that eggs meant for non-retail use were mistakenly packaged and sold in retail packaging. The company said it is taking multiple steps to prevent a recurrence of this incident.
Distribution
The recalled products were distributed only to 25 Costco retail stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee starting on November 22, 2024.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness in humans. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, appearing six hours to six days after exposure to the bacteria. While most people recover without specific treatment, the infection can be severe, especially for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Commenting on this article, one national Salmonella lawyer said, “Consumers in the impacted states who have recently shopped at Costco should check their refrigerators for the recalled eggs. Even if some of the eggs have been consumed, I highly recommend throwing them out or returning them to the store.”
