You won't believe what's been found in this Costco’s bakery item – check your pantry now!

Whenever we take a trip down to the grocery store, we tend to add one or two items that weren’t originally on our shopping list. Sometimes, it’s an additional bag of chips or a sweet treat from the in-house bakery–especially from Costco’s delicious bakery selection.

However, in the bustling aisles of Costco, where bulk buys and budget-friendly deals reign supreme, a recent discovery has prompted a swift and serious response. Are you at risk?



On November 9, Costco made the decision to recall a specific batch of its Butter Croissants after it was discovered that the salt used in the baking process was contaminated with foreign material.

The details of what exactly this material is remain undisclosed, leaving consumers with a shroud of mystery and concern. Compass Minerals, the manufacturer of the salt, has yet to release a statement regarding the nature of the contamination.

The affected Butter Croissants carry the item number 1199652 and have best-by dates ranging from September 8, 2024, to November 10, 2024.

Although these dates have passed, it's crucial to check your kitchen to ensure none of these pastries linger in your pantry or freezer.



The recall is not isolated to the United States.

Weeks prior, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issued a recall for multiple bread products that also used salt from Compass Minerals. These products were found to contain pieces of metal, leading to a widespread recall across various Canadian retailers.

While Costco and Compass Minerals have not confirmed a direct link between the U.S. and Canadian recalls, the timing and similarity of the incidents raise questions.

If you find that you have purchased the recalled Butter Croissants, it's imperative that you do not consume them. Instead, Costco encourages customers to return the bakery items to their local store for a full refund.

The safety of consumers is paramount, and Costco has taken these measures to ensure that no affected products remain on their shelves.



To date, there have been no reported adverse effects from consuming the croissants. However, if you have any concerns or questions about the recall, Costco's customer service team is available at 1-800-955-2292 to provide assistance and information.
