Those have included toxin concerns, possible rubber pieces, and even potential glass.

Here’s a look the recalls:

Chicken fried rice

Certain lots of Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice (Costco Item #819988) were recalled “due to possible glass contamination.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, Ajinomoto Foods North America is issuing a voluntary recall expansion of the Yakitori Chicken Fried Rice due to potential glass contamination,” a letter posted on Costco’s website says.

The recall includes products that were sold in Canada with the best before dates between Sept. 9, 2026 and Nov. 12, 2026, as well as Nov. 24, 2026 and Dec. 22, 2026.

The date is printed on the side of the box and on individual packages in the following format: YY MM DD.

Ramen with chicken bowls

Certain lots of ramen with chicken bowls were also recalled due to the possible presence of glass.

“Ajinomoto Foods North America, in cooperation with the USDA and CFIA, announced a voluntary recall of select lots of Shoyu Ramen with Chicken Bowls due to the potential presence of glass in the product,” a notice on Costco’s website said.

“This recall impacts products sold in Canada with best before dates between May 24, 2026 and May 10, 2027.”

The best before date can be found on the side of the box or on individual packages in the following format: YY MM DD.

The Costco item number is 1162180.

Cabbage rolls

Certain lots of Discovery Kitchens Beef Cabbage Rolls (item number #1998447) were recalled “due to the potential presence of pieces of thin, flexible, soft natural rubber material in the product,” a notice on Costco’s website said.

The impacted lots are the following:

• Brand: Inovata Foods Inc.
• Product: Discovery Kitchens Beef Cabbage Rolls 2 x 907g
• Lot codes: 20270120, 20270121, 20270122

Chocolate mousse

Delici Dubai Style chocolate mousse, with the item number 1990644, was recently recalled because it may contain allergens that aren’t listed on the label, which could lead to serious health effects, a notice on Costco’s website said.

“Mellow Food is voluntarily recalling certain lot codes of the Delici Dubai Style chocolate mousse due to the possible presence of cashew nuts and macadamia nuts that are not declared on the label,” the notice said.

“These allergens may cause severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.”

Here are more details on the recalled product:

“Do not eat this product if you have an allergy or sensitivity to cashew nuts or macadamia nuts, as consumption may cause a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction,” the notice said.

Scones

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said in a notice that The Worthy Crumb Pastry Co. brand Cheddar and Chive Artisan Scones were recalled due to mould.

It’s 660 g in size and has the UPC number 7 70981 2421 32.

The following codes are affected: 25346, 25353, 25354, 25356, 25357, 26008, 26009, 26014, 26022, 26023, 26029, 26030, 26037.

One Facebook user posted on Feb. 9 that they purchased the scones from Costco and once they arrived home, noticed that they had mould on them.

Feb. 15 was listed as the best by date on the box — six days after the post was published, according to an accompanying photo.

Another user posted on Facebook on Feb. 25 that they purchased the same scones with a best by date of March 28.

“They are covered in mould,” the post said.

“We just bought them a few days ago.”

Consumers are being advised to not use or distribute the recalled product.

Baby formula

Certain baby formula was recalled due to concerns of a toxin that can cause food poisoning.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the one-kilogram containers of Kendamil brand infant formula that say “with whole milk” on the label may contain cereulide toxin, which can quickly cause nausea and vomiting.

European-based company Kendal Nutricare said cereulide has been recently associated with arachidonic acid oil, a source of Omega 6, and that during a short supply disruption, the company used a different oil supply than usual for two batches of infant formula sold at Costco in Canada.

Those batches were produced in May 2025 and their codes, 897274 and 888632, can be found on the base of the tin.

The company said these batches still pass the European safety guidance for cereulide levels in infant formula, but Health Canada has a different standard.
