If you recently picked up one of Costco’s prepared meatloaf dinners, now would be a very good time to check the label before you heat anything up.
Costco has issued a recall for select Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze meals after being notified that one of the ingredients used in the product may be linked to possible Salmonella contamination. The issue traces back to an ingredient supplier, which alerted the retailer to the potential problem.
The affected ready-to-eat meals were sold between March 2 and March 13, 2026, and carry sell-by dates between March 5 and March 16, 2026.
According to the recall notice, the meals were sold at Costco locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Costco is telling customers not to take any chances here. The company says do not consume the recalled product and instead return it to your local warehouse for a full refund.
The Costco notice states: “Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.” No illnesses or injuries had been reported in connection with the recalled meatloaf meals.
This is one of those recalls where the instructions are pretty straightforward: don’t eat it, don’t “see how it smells,” and don’t convince yourself it’s probably fine. Just satisfy your meatloaf craving another time.
