Hi Everyone,
If you have ever purchased this delicious, healthy treat, you will want to make sure you return this product back to Costco (or other retailer) ASAP! This product has been recalled from the marketplace due to possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination. E. coli is not something you want to mess around with.
I do not think anything has been posted on the Costco Website yet; however, a recall has been issued by CFIA and I don’t want anyone to miss this notice.
If you have this product at home, please check the UPC code and the Expiry date. It looks like the recall only affects a certain batch:
| Hankook (Korean characters only) | Original Kimchi | 1670 g | 6 23431 00030 4 | Best Before 22JA29 |
For more information, please check the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Bulletin Below:
