Why does Costco have so many recalls?
One tricky part about frozen foods sold in bulk is that because they can last for so long, products may lurk in freezers for months or even years. Bacteria with the potential to cause foodborne illness may be discovered months later, putting the heat on distributors and stores like Costco to issue recalls. Fans of the Costco frozen foods section may want to double check their freezers. Wawona Frozen Foods has announced a voluntary recall of its Organic DayBreak Blend due to potential Hepatitis A contamination of Mexican-grown strawberries included in the mix.
