Costco Issues Urgent Food Recall Due to Life-Threatening Allergen

Costco has issued a recall for a popular bakery item sold at select club stores between Jan. 16 and Jan. 30.

Costco Wholesale has issued an urgent recall for its popular Mini Beignets filled with Caramel (Item #1181272) due to a serious packaging error that poses a potentially life-threatening risk to customers with tree nut allergies.

What Happened

The affected product was inadvertently packaged with Mini Beignets filled with Chocolate Hazelnut instead of the labeled caramel filling. This mislabeling means the product contains undeclared hazelnuts (filberts), which are not listed on the packaging.
