Costco issued a recall notice over the weekend for its popular ready-to-eat meatloaf meal kit, impacting warehouse locations in at least 26 states.
The “Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze” was flagged for potential Salmonella contamination after an ingredient supplier raised concerns.
“An ingredient supplier, Griffith Foods Inc., has announced the recall of an ingredient used in the Meatloaf because the ingredient has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella,” the recall notice said.
Headquartered just outside Chicago, Griffith Foods is a global, family-owned food ingredient manufacturer. The Costco recall notice did not specify which ingredient was linked to the potential contamination.

Most healthy individuals, however, recover within four to seven days, often without specific medical treatment.
