Overview
- Costco says some caramel mini beignets were mistakenly packaged with chocolate‑hazelnut–filled pastries that did not list hazelnuts on the label.
- Newsday reports the distribution spanned 24 states, including New York, New Jersey, Texas and South Dakota, after earlier coverage cited 22 states.
- The recalled product is item #1181272 and was sold between January 16 and January 30, 2026.
- Customers are instructed not to consume the product and to return it to any Costco warehouse for a full refund, with questions directed to the customer service portal.
- The company’s notice warns that hazelnut exposure can cause severe, potentially life‑threatening reactions for people with tree nut allergies, and it apologized for the inconvenience.
