Costco Recalls Ready-to-Eat Sandwiches After Listeria Outbreak

More than 90 ready-to-eat sandwiches and snack products have been recalled after being linked to a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The recall includes products sold at various retailers, hospitals, hotels, airports, and convenience stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington.

Among them are six products sold at Costco between April 28 and May 11, 2025. Though these sandwiches carry a use-by date of May 11, the FDA urges consumers to double-check their refrigerators and immediately dispose of any recalled items.

Costco customers in the affected states should look out for the following Fresh & Ready Foods items:

• Turkey Bacon Club Sandwich (Item #1651757)

• Egg Salad Sandwich (Item #1653781)

Although the “use by” dates have passed, the FDA has extended the overall recall to products with best-by dates up to May 19, 2025—and more items could be added as the investigation continues.

10 Hospitalizations So Far

According to the latest FDA update, there have been 10 confirmed cases of listeriosis connected to this outbreak—all of which led to hospitalization.

Listeria can cause serious illness, particularly for those who are pregnant, over 65, immunocompromised, or very young. Symptoms include:

• Fever
• Muscle aches
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea

In some cases, symptoms may last for days or even weeks. If you’ve eaten any of the recalled products and start to feel unwell, contact your doctor immediately.
