Costco's Kirkland Signature Cold Brew recall: Reason, item number, and all you need to know

Costco customers may have to be extra vigilant as the retail store chain has issued a nationwide recall of its Kirkland Signature Cold Brew. The recall has been issued over concerns about foreign material contamination. It is feared that some of the affected cans may be contaminated with a metal bolt, which could pose a risk of choking if swallowed.

The retail chain announced the voluntary recall on February 17, 2023, in accordance with the United States Food & Drug Association rules. The recall was initiated to ensure the safety of the customers who may have purchased the cans from stores across the country.

As of now, neither the FDA nor the company has received reports of any injuries or incidents related to the consumption of the recalled products.
