The recall specifically targets Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs sold at 25 Costco locations across five states. Affected products can be identified by:

• Julian code: 327
• “Use by” date: January 5, 2025
• Location: Stores in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama
