Costco sued by shoppers in potential tariff class action
Costco says you shouldn’t eat meatloaf and mashed potatoes and instead return the pre-made meal kits to its warehouse for a full refund.
What is Salmonella?
While Costco notes that there have been no reports of injuries or illness from the recalled patties, salmonella infections can be “serious and sometimes fatal.”
It is caused by salmonella, a bacterium that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates causes 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths in the United States each year.

Salmonella infections are often associated with diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps, according to the CDC. Symptoms can appear six hours to six days after ingesting the bacteria. Most people recover within four to seven days without treatment.
Illness may be more severe in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. The CDC explains that some people may need medical treatment or hospitalization. The infection can only be diagnosed through laboratory tests of a person’s stool, body tissue or body fluids.
