Costco Wholesale has recalled products with the affected batch codes and ‘best before’ dates as a precautionary measure. The recall is linked to an ongoing listeria outbreak in the US being investigated by the U.S Food and Drug Administration.
Costco Wholesale has sent a letter to all its member customers who have bought the product, explaining why the product has been recalled and the actions members or add-on members can take if they have bought the affected product.
