Costco Recalls Meatloaf Meal Kits in 26 States Over Salmonella Risk

A supplier alert about a potentially contaminated ingredient prompted the action.

Overview

  • Costco pulled its ready-to-eat Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze after Griffith Foods reported a recalled ingredient with potential Salmonella contamination.
  • The affected kits were sold March 2–13 with sell-by dates from March 5–16, 2026, according to the retailer’s notice.
  • The recall covers warehouses in 26 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, including major markets such as California, Florida, Illinois and Virginia.
  • No illnesses have been reported to date, though officials warn Salmonella can cause severe infection in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
  • Customers are urged not to eat the product and to return it for a full refund, and because notices list different item numbers (#30782 vs. #30783) and the ingredient was not specified, shoppers should rely on the product name and sell-by dates to identify impacted units.
