Why was Kirkland Signature Traditional Madeleines 12 Count/net wt. 18oz. recalled?
According to the FDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Undeclared hazelnut and soy lecithin.” In plain terms, this recall relates to an undeclared ingredient or allergen.
An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label. For most people this is not dangerous, but for someone with a food allergy or sensitivity it can trigger a serious reaction. Accurate labeling is required so that people can avoid ingredients they need to stay away from.
What should you do?
If you think you may have bought Kirkland Signature Traditional Madeleines 12 Count/net wt. 18oz., compare it against the product description and identifying codes (Pack Date: 3/30/26 to 4/6/26 Sell By: 04/2/26 to 4/9/26) before using it.
The general guidance for a matching product is to stop using it and follow the instructions in the official FDA recall notice, which may include a repair, replacement, refund, or safe disposal. When in doubt, contact Costco Wholesale Corporation or your local health authority.

Who this recall affects

What undeclared ingredient or allergen actually means
An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label. For most people this is not dangerous, but for someone with a food allergy or sensitivity it can trigger a serious reaction. Accurate labeling is required so that people can avoid ingredients they need to stay away from.

How to check whether you have it
On packaged food, lot codes and best-by dates are usually printed in small date-coding ink on the side seam, the bottom of the package, or near the top seal — not on the front label. The UPC barcode is on the back or bottom.
Compare what you find against the identifying details in this recall: Pack Date: 3/30/26 to 4/6/26 Sell By: 04/2/26 to 4/9/26
What to do if you already bought it
Do not eat the product, even if it looks and smells normal — contamination is usually invisible.
Return it to the store for a refund, or throw it away in a sealed bag so pets and wildlife can't reach it.
If it touched other food or surfaces, wash those surfaces and your hands with hot soapy water. When in doubt, contact Costco Wholesale Corporation or your local health department.
