Recalled Costco Bakery Item Distributed In IL

Costco is warning its members that desserts with an undeclared allergen were mistakenly sent to nearly a dozen warehouses across the country, including in Illinois.

Item No. 2000012, Traditional Madeleines, was inadvertently packaged with chocolate hazelnut-filled Madeleines, according to an April 7 message to Costco members.

“The mislabeled units contain undeclared Tree Nuts (Hazelnut/Filbert),” the message said. “If you are allergic to Hazelnuts/Filberts, do not consume this product. … People with a hazelnut or filbert allergy or severe sensitivity risk a life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.”

The affected items were distributed between March 30 and April 6 to 11 Costco warehouses, including one in East Peoria.

Members can return the items to Costco for a refund.
