Could your Costco mini beignets make you sick? Hazelnut mislabel sparks recall

Costco is recalling a bakery item after discovering a packaging error that could pose a serious health risk to people with certain food allergies.

According to a recall notice, Mini Beignets filled with caramel were mistakenly packaged as Mini Beignets filled with Chocolate Hazelnut. As a result, the products contain undeclared tree nuts — hazelnut (also listed as filbert).

Costco said consumers who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to hazelnuts or filberts could experience a serious or potentially life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume the product. Customers are urged to return the item to any Costco store for a full refund.

Where were the products sold?

The mislabeled products were distributed between Jan. 16 and Jan. 30, 2026, in the following states:

Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.

What should customers do?

Costco apologized for the inconvenience caused by the recall and advised customers with questions to visit customerservice.costco.com.
