  • Costco has recalled its pre-made Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze kit due to potential salmonella contamination from an ingredient supplied by Griffith Food Inc.
  • The affected meatloaf products have sell-by dates between 5 and 16 March 2026 and were sold in 26 US states and Puerto Rico between 2 and 13 March 2026.
  • Customers are advised to dispose of the product or return it to Costco for a full refund, although no illnesses have been reported in connection with this specific recall.
  • Salmonella infection typically causes symptoms such as diarrhoea, fever, and abdominal cramps, appearing 12 to 72 hours after consumption and usually lasting four to seven days.
  • This recall follows other recent food product recalls due to salmonella concerns, including Spring & Mulberry's Mint Leaf Date Sweetened Chocolate Bar in January and Hudson River Foods' Doughy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in November.
