Costco has announced an immediate recall of its Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants, a staple item that has long been a breakfast favorite among members. The retail giant sent out notification letters to members warning about potential foreign material contamination in these popular pastries.
What products are affected by this recall
The recall specifically targets the 12-pack Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants. Members should check their purchases for sell-by dates ranging from September 8 to November 10, 2024. These dates are clearly printed on the packaging, making it simple to identify affected products.
Each package contains a dozen individually wrapped croissants, which have been removed from all warehouse locations. The recall affects all Costco locations nationwide that carry these items in their bakery section.
Steps to take if you purchased recalled croissants
If you’ve purchased these croissants within the specified date range, Costco strongly advises against consuming them. Return the product to your nearest Costco warehouse for a complete refund – no receipt necessary. The store’s efficient return process ensures minimal hassle for members affected by this recall.
Members who cannot visit a warehouse can contact Costco’s customer service for alternative arrangements. What if you’ve already consumed some of the croissants? While no incidents have been reported, it’s worth monitoring for any unusual symptoms and consulting your healthcare provider if concerns arise.
Alternative options for butter croissant lovers
While Costco works to resolve this issue, members might consider exploring other options. Many local bakeries offer freshly baked butter croissants daily. Some warehouse locations may temporarily stock alternative brands to fill the gap until the Kirkland Signature version returns to shelves.
For those who regularly stock up on these pastries for events or family gatherings, consider speaking with your local Costco bakery department about available substitutes. They often carry other breakfast pastries that could serve as temporary replacements.
When to expect croissants back in stock
Costco hasn’t announced an official return date for the butter croissants. However, similar recalls in the past have typically been resolved within a few weeks to a month. The company maintains strict quality control measures and works closely with suppliers to ensure product safety before restocking.
Members can stay informed about the situation by checking Costco’s website or speaking with their local warehouse management. The company typically sends notification emails once affected products are cleared to return to shelves.
