Costco Canada has issued a recall for select Rossdown Meal Starters Black Garlic Chicken Breast Chunks after it was discovered that the products may contain undeclared soy, posing a potential health risk to individuals with soy allergies or sensitivities.
According to the retailer, the affected products were sold under item number 295021 at Costco warehouse locations across Canada between August and September 2026. The recall applies to products manufactured on August 10, 2026 (Lot No. 2461263) and August 19, 2026 (Lot No. 2461272).
Costco is urging customers who purchased the affected products not to consume them if they have a soy allergy or sensitivity. The company warned that consuming the recalled chicken could trigger a serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.
Customers are advised to check the product packaging for the affected lot numbers. Those who have purchased the recalled chicken can return it to any Costco warehouse for a full refund, regardless of whether the package has been opened.
The retailer said the recall was issued as a precautionary measure after identifying the possible presence of soy that was not declared on the product label. No additional product details have been announced, and customers are encouraged to monitor Costco Canada’s official recall notices for any further updates.
Food safety experts remind consumers with food allergies to always verify product labels and stay informed about recall notices, as undeclared allergens remain one of the leading causes of food recalls in Canada. Anyone who experiences an allergic reaction after consuming the product should seek immediate medical attention.
