What You Should Do
If you have this meal kit in your refrigerator or freezer, do not consume it. You can return it to a local Costco for a full refund.
Those who have already eaten the meal should monitor for common Salmonella symptoms, which typically include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in otherwise healthy people. Symptoms usually appear 12 to 72 hours after infection.
