The impacted items\u2014Caesar Salad (Item #19927) and Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad (Item #11444)\u2014were sold at select warehouses in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast with sell-by dates from October 17 through November 9.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Costco\u2019s instruction is simple: \u201cPlease stop eating the product and return the item to your local Costco for a full refund,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bfldr.com\/U447IH35\/as\/3z6fkvkm69k8b924cc3btmg6\/PLEASEPOST11-7-25MemberLetter-CaesarDressingRecall-ServiceDeliItems\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/cdn.bfldr.com\/U447IH35\/as\/3z6fkvkm69k8b924cc3btmg6\/PLEASEPOST11-7-25MemberLetter-CaesarDressingRecall-ServiceDeliItems\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"company notice says\" data-node-id=\"4.1\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">company notice says<\/a>. Those tiny plastic pieces can pose a choking hazard or cause mouth and digestive injuries, so this is one of those better-safe-than-sorry scenarios.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you\u2019ve already served the salad or sandwich and someone notices pain, cuts in the mouth, or trouble swallowing, loop in a healthcare professional. Otherwise, a quick fridge sweep is your best move. Costco doesn\u2019t require a receipt for returns (membership tracks purchases), so refunds are painless.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The dates here matter, too: it\u2019s a targeted pull tied to that specific mid-October to early-November window. The recall also underscores why prepared foods get so much attention around the holidays: they\u2019re convenient, yes, but they also move fast, and retailers tend to act quickly when anything looks off.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Make sure you check that label, and if you find yourself back at Costco for a refund, maybe pivot lunch to the rotisserie chicken while you\u2019re there. Can&#8217;t go wrong there.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Costco recalled two deli items\u2014Caesar Salad and Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad\u2014for possible plastic in the dressing.
