Costco maintains active new food safety alerts that affect products sold in some of its stores in the United States. The most recent concerns green jalapenos recalled for possible Salmonella contamination, while the company also warns about certain frozen burritos that may contain an undeclared allergen.

The notices currently appear among the first recalls published on Costco's official Recalls & Product Notices page, although they do not affect all branches in the country. Consumers should pay special attention to the place of purchase and the item number before discarding a product.

The cases do not have the same origin either. Jalapenos are part of an alert related to a possible microbiological risk, while burritos present a labeling problem that can be dangerous for people allergic to eggs.

Costco recalls green jalapenos due to possible presence of Salmonella

Costco's most recent warning affects Green Jalapeño Peppers, identified as item number 514606. The recall is limited to three Costco Business Centers: Dallas and Stafford, Texas, and Orlando, Florida. Costco posts separate notices for its Texas and Orlando stores.

The reason is possible contamination with Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal illness and poses an especially significant risk to young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.

The warning coincides with a broader investigation by US health authorities into jalapenos linked to a Salmonella outbreak. In recent days, products made with jalapeños and sold by other large chains in the country have also been withdrawn.

Those who purchased the affected jalapenos at those Costco Business Centers should not consume them and should follow the instructions included in the recall notice.

Which Costco stores are affected by the jalapeño recall

This point is important: the recall does not affect all Costcos in the United States. The notices published by the company correspond specifically to:

In all three cases, the product that must be identified is Green Jalapeño Peppers, Item #514606.

Therefore, a consumer who has jalapenos purchased at Costco should not automatically assume that they are part of the recall: they should check the purchase establishment and product identification.

Costco also maintains an alert for frozen burritos

The second food currently listed on Costco's alerts page is Red's Steak Cilantro and Lime Burrito, item #1375342.

In this case, it is not technically an active recall requested by authorities, but rather a public health alert issued on July 29 by the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The difference is due to the fact that the affected lots were no longer available for sale when the problem was detected. However, authorities believe that some consumers could keep them in their freezers.

Why burritos can be dangerous

The problem arose after a consumer discovered that inside a box of Red's Steak, Cilantro and Lime Burritos there was a different product than indicated on the packaging.

This product contains eggs, but the allergen was not declared on the label. This can pose a serious risk to people with egg allergies. For this reason, FSIS recommended that those who have the affected packages do not consume the burritos and throw them away or return them to the place where they were purchased.

So far, authorities indicated that no adverse reactions related to these products have been confirmed.

How to Identify Burritos Sold at Costco

The affected products were manufactured on June 19, 2026 and distributed to Costco centers in Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota. They are 3 pound and 2 ounce boxes that contain 10 units of Red's Steak Cilantro and Lime Burrito. Products bear establishment number “EST. 46069” within the USDA inspection seal.

The affected lots are: L1 SD6170 1503, 1535, 1606, 1639, 1717, 1750, 1831, 1908, 1954, 2031, 2108 and 2130. FSIS asked to check the freezers precisely because, although the affected product is no longer for sale, the boxes contain ten burritos and may remain stored for a long time.

What Costco Customers Should Do

Consumers who have any of these foods should first check the item number, lot and place of purchase.

In the case of jalapenos, the alert is concentrated in the Costco Business Centers in Dallas, Stafford and Orlando. For burritos, the problem affects certain batches distributed in Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.

Costco maintains a dedicated section where it updates its recalls and safety notices, so members can check there if new affected products appear.
