Costco this weekend issued a recall for its popular ready-to-eat meatloaf meal kit, affecting warehouse locations in at least 26 states.
The “Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze” was flagged for possible Salmonella contamination after an ingredient supplier raised concerns.
“An ingredient supplier, Griffith Foods Inc., has announced the recall of an ingredient used in the Meatloaf because the ingredient may be contaminated with Salmonella,” the recall notice said.
Griffith Foods, headquartered just outside Chicago, is a family-owned global manufacturer of food ingredients. Costco’s recall notice did not specify which ingredient was linked to the possible contamination.

The meal, product #30783, was sold between March 2 and March 13, just days before the Salmonella concern emerged. The items had an expiration date of March 5 to March 16.
Costco locations in 26 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, were affected by the recall. The states include Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Infections commonly cause diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, which typically occur between six hours and six days after exposure.
However, most healthy people recover within four to seven days, often without specific medical treatment.
