This Costco Item Sold in 17 States Is Being Recalled — Eat This Not That
Costco has issued a recall for a popular item sold in 17 states due to a potential health risk. The item in question is the Kirkland Signature brand of frozen cooked shrimp, which was sold in 2-pound bags in Costco stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The recall was issued due to the potential presence of salmonella, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
If you purchased the recalled item, you should not consume it and should return it to the store for a full refund. If you have consumed the item and are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, you should seek medical attention immediately.

A month after a snack sold at warehouses in several states was recalled for potentially containing lead, another pantry staple is being pulled by Costco. This time the item has the possibility that it could contain small rocks.
Conagra Brands has confirmed with Eat This, Not That! that 8- or 16-ounce cans of the Rosarita Organic Refried Beans sold at Costco warehouses across the country are being recalled. Because Costco tracks the items members purchase in-store and online, a notice was sent to those who took the beans home or had them delivered recently. In the document, the company says that the recall is being issued in cooperation with the FDA and that no other Rosarita or Canagra brands are involved.
The beans have a Costco item code of 1169666. They were sold in 17 states, Conagra says, including Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Utah.

If there is a can in your kitchen, check it for a UPC code of 00-0-44300-00009-4, one of five lot codes, and/or a “Best By” date of either May 1, May 2, or May 3, 2023. Should you be in possession of a can, “Please return the impacted item to your local Costco for a full refund,” Conagra says. “We do not recommend you consume the product.”
No information about how the small rocks got into the product or how the issue was discovered was given by Costco or Conagra.
