Costco Recalls Kirkland Products Over Labeling and Contamination Concerns

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued a public health warning regarding Kirkland Signature chicken tortilla soup, which was mistakenly labeled as gluten-free. The USDA stated that gluten-sensitive individuals may experience adverse reactions if they consume the soup. Although the product is no longer available for purchase, the USDA is concerned that some may still be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. The soup was made on July 26 and lab testing revealed the presence of gluten in products labeled as gluten-free. There have been no confirmed reports of illness related to the consumption of these products. Customers are advised to discard or return the affected soup and can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline for further information.
