Costco shoppers are being urged to double-check their recent grocery purchases after not one, but two popular food items were recalled over potentially serious health concerns.
One involves a prepared family meal that may contain Salmonella-contaminated ingredients, while the other centers around a mislabeled ravioli product that could pose a major risk for anyone with shellfish allergies.
Both products were sold at Costco warehouses across multiple states, and officials are warning that many shoppers may still have these items sitting in their refrigerators or freezers right now.
If you’ve recently stocked up on easy dinner options at Costco, here’s everything you need to know about these recalls, which products are affected, and what steps shoppers should take immediately.
Before you heat up any Costco prepared meals, here’s exactly what you need to know.
Costco Meatloaf Meal Kit Recall
The recall involves Costco Item #30783 — Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze.
This ready-to-heat meal is a popular Costco meal kit for busy families who want a quick dinner. The meal includes a meatloaf, creamy mashed Yukon potatoes, and a savory glaze.
According to the recall notice, certain batches of this prepared meal may be affected because of a recalled ingredient used during production. While the issue may not impact every package sold, Costco shoppers are being urged to check their purchases carefully and follow any guidance provided by the retailer or manufacturer.
Customers who purchased the product recently may want to avoid consuming it until they confirm whether their package is included in the recall.
Why Is the Meatloaf Being Recalled?
The issue traces back to an ingredient supplier, Griffith Foods Inc., which announced that one of its ingredients may be contaminated with Salmonella.
While no illnesses have been reported so far, the recall is being issued out of an abundance of caution to protect consumers.
What Is Salmonella?
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause serious illness, especially in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.
Which Products Are Affected?
You may have an impacted product if:
- You purchased the meal between March 2, 2026 and March 13, 2026
- The package has a Sell By date between March 5, 2026 and March 16, 2026
These products were sold at Costco locations across multiple states, including:
Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, as well as Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
What Should You Do?
Costco is urging customers who purchased the affected Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze to take the recall seriously.
If you have this product at home, do not consume it, even if the packaging appears normal or the food looks fine. Food recalls are issued out of caution to help protect customers from potential health risks.
Instead, Costco advises shoppers to return the product to their local warehouse for a full refund. You do not need to take any chances with a recalled food item, especially one that may contain an affected ingredient.
If you recently purchased this prepared meal, it’s a good idea to check your refrigerator as soon as possible and dispose of or return the product immediately.
Rana Ravioli Recall
A well-known pasta brand has issued a voluntary recall after a shocking mislabeling error was discovered. The issue came to light after two consumer complaints revealed that what was supposed to be a beef and burrata cheese ravioli actually contained shrimp and lobster sauce instead.
For most people, that might sound like an unpleasant surprise. But for those with shellfish allergies, it could be a medical emergency.
The shrimp and lobster are known allergens and are not declared anywhere on the product label — meaning shoppers had absolutely no way of knowing what they were actually eating.
Which Rana Product Is Being Recalled?
Rana Meal Solutions has recalled 32-ounce packages of the Giovanni Rana Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese Ravioli, sold at Costco locations in Maryland and New Jersey.
The affected packages were produced between March 10 and April 21, 2026, and carry use-by dates ranging from May 14 to June 25, 2026. Look for establishment number “Est. 44870” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging. The product also carries item number 2009458 and was sold between March 15 and April 30, 2026.
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has expressed concern that people may still have the product stored in their freezers, so even if it’s been sitting there for a while, now is the time to check.
What Should You Do?
If you have a shellfish or crustacean allergy, do not consume this product under any circumstances. You should either discard it or return it to your nearest Costco warehouse for a full refund. Costco has listed the product on its recall section and has notified past buyers that they can bring the item back to any warehouse location. No receipt is necessary.
If you’ve already eaten the product and are experiencing any unusual symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction, contact a healthcare provider right away. As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of health issues tied to the recall, but it’s always better to be safe.
Food recalls like this don’t happen often with prepared meals, which is why these recalls are catching so much attention. It’s worth taking a minute to check your fridge. This is one of those times where being cautious really matters.
