Costco Recalls Kirkland Signature Mini Beignets Due to Undeclared Hazelnut

What Happened

Costco Wholesale Corporation has initiated a voluntary recall of Kirkland Signature Mini Beignets filled with Caramel. The recall was triggered because the product contains hazelnut, an allergen that is not declared on the product packaging. The FDA has designated this as a Class I recall.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves 8,073 packages of the following product:

• Product Name: Kirkland Signature Mini Beignets filled with Caramel (22CT)
• Costco Item Number: #1181272
• UPC: 000011 812722
• Packaging: Clear clamshell container
• Pack Dates: January 16, 2026, through January 30, 2026
• Sell by Dates: January 19, 2026, through February 2, 2026

The affected products were distributed in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.

What You Should Do

Consumers who have purchased the affected Kirkland Signature Mini Beignets and have an allergy or severe sensitivity to hazelnuts are urged not to consume the product. Customers should return the item to their local Costco warehouse for a full refund.

Why This Matters

Undeclared allergens pose a serious health risk to individuals with specific food allergies. Consumption of hazelnut by those with an allergy can lead to severe or life-threatening allergic reactions. A Class I classification indicates a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
