Costco is recalling pizza kits sold at its Canadian warehouses after discovering mould contamination in the product. The recall affects certain batches of the Kirkland Signature brand pizza kits, which were distributed to Costco locations across Canada. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued the recall notice, warning consumers not to consume the affected product due to potential health risks.
Details of the Recall
The recall involves Kirkland Signature cheese and pepperoni pizza kits with specific lot codes and best-before dates. Customers who purchased these kits are advised to check the packaging and return the product to any Costco warehouse for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the contaminated pizza kits, but the CFIA advises anyone who has consumed the product and feels unwell to contact a healthcare provider.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers are urged to either dispose of the recalled pizza kits or return them to Costco for a refund. The company has posted notices in its warehouses and online to inform customers. For more information, customers can contact Costco's customer service or visit the CFIA website for the full list of affected products.
This recall comes as part of ongoing food safety monitoring by the CFIA. Mould contamination can cause allergic reactions or respiratory issues in some individuals, especially those with weakened immune systems. The agency emphasizes the importance of checking food products for signs of spoilage before consumption.
