Costco Shoppers Alert: Check These Frozen Burritos for a Safety Warning

Costco customers should check their freezers for select Red's Steak Cilantro and Lime Burritos. The affected products may contain undeclared egg and should be returned to the store or thrown away.

Costco Frozen Burritos Alert: Costco shoppers in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota have been asked to check their freezers after the USDA issued a public health alert for a frozen burrito product. The alert is for Red’s Steak Cilantro and Lime Burrito, because egg was found in the product but was not listed on the label. The food was made on June 19, 2026, and it was sold in 3-pound, 2-ounce cartons with 10 individually wrapped burritos inside.

This is not a nationwide warning. The product was shipped only to Costco warehouses in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota. USDA said a formal recall was not issued because the burritos were no longer being sold when the problem was found. Even so, officials warned that some boxes may still be sitting in home freezers.

The problem was discovered when a consumer noticed that a burrito package contained egg even though egg was not declared on the label. No illness or allergic reaction had been reported when the alert was issued.

What Customers Should do?

Anyone who has one of these burritos should not eat it. The safest step is to throw it away or take it back to the Costco warehouse where it was bought. This is especially important for people with egg allergies, since egg can cause reactions that range from mild skin problems to serious breathing trouble. USDA and food safety sources also note that Costco members may receive a direct notice if store records show they bought the affected item.
