The Food and Drug Administration has placed its highest warning on thousands of eggs distributed to Costco locations in five states last month. The FDA says there’s a reasonable possibility that eating them could result in serious adverse health consequences or death. The eggs are potentially linked to salmonella exposure. The affected product is the Handsome Brook Farms brand of Signature Organic Pasture-Raised 24-Count Eggs. They were distributed to Costco stores in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Approximately 10,800 retail units were sent to 25 Costco locations starting November 22. The affected cartons include the numbers 327 and P1363 and a use-by date of January 5, 2025. The FDA advises consumers not to eat these eggs and suggests returning them to Costco for a full refund or disposing of them.
