UPDATE: Costco has just announced an urgent recall of two popular food items due to potential plastic contamination. Customers who purchased the Kirkland Signature Caesar Salad and the Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad are advised to take immediate action.
The recall affects products with Sell By Dates ranging from October 17 to November 9, 2025. Specifically, the affected items include the Caesar Salad (Item Number 19927) and the Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad (Item Number 11444), both sold under the Kirkland Signature brand. The presence of “plastic foreign material” was detected in the salad dressing of these items, raising health concerns.
Customers are urged to stop consuming the affected products immediately. Costco recommends returning the items to any local Costco store for a full refund. Although no specific locations have been identified, the recall affects select stores in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast United States.
This is not the first incident this year where Costco has had to pull products from shelves due to safety issues. Earlier in November, the retailer recalled nearly one million bottles of wine after reports of shattering without warning. Additionally, a pork product was recalled in October after plastic shards were discovered.
The recall notice was issued on November 7, 2025, which has raised concerns among consumers about the timing, especially for those who purchased the salads in October. As health and safety remain top priorities, affected customers are encouraged to check their purchases against the recall details.
For further information, Costco has an official recall page where updates will be posted. This developing story highlights the importance of food safety and vigilance among consumers. Stay tuned for more updates as this situation unfolds.
