URGENT UPDATE: Costco has just announced a recall of two popular salad products due to potential plastic contamination. The recall affects the Kirkland Signature Caesar Salad and the Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad, impacting customers who purchased these items between October 17 and November 9, 2025.
Authorities at Costco and Ventura Foods issued the recall notice on November 7, 2025, revealing that “plastic foreign material” was discovered in the salad dressing of both products. This alarming situation has prompted immediate action from the retailer to protect consumers.
Customers who have these salads in their possession are urged to stop consuming the products immediately and return them to their local Costco for a full refund. The affected salads have specific item numbers: 19927 for the Caesar Salad and 11444 for the Chicken Sandwich.
While Costco has not released a detailed list of impacted stores, the salads have been removed from select locations across the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast United States. This recall follows a troubling trend for Costco, as the retailer recently pulled nearly one million bottles of wine earlier in November due to unanticipated breakage, highlighting ongoing safety concerns for consumers.
Costco’s proactive measures aim to ensure the safety of their customers, as this is not the first instance this year of products being recalled due to plastic contamination. Earlier in October, a popular pork product was also taken off the shelves after plastic shards were discovered.
As the situation develops, consumers are advised to stay informed about potential recalls and exercise caution with food products. For more details on this urgent recall, visit Costco’s official recall page.
