Sam’s Club Meal Kits Recalled Due to Salmonella Risk

There’s an active recall on meal kits sold nationwide, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This is due to a Salmonella contamination.

The specific products affected were Beef & Lamb Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kits sold at Sam’s Club stores as well as the Gyro Family Kit sold at Sprouts Farmers Market. The Sam’s Club meal kits have a printed UPC of “0-13454-38313-1” and use-by dates ranging from December 24, 2024, through January 6, 2025. The Sprouts family kit being recalled has a printed UPC of “20594800000” and use-by dates ranging from December 29, 2024 through January 7, 2025. These meal kits were both sold in clear plastic containers.

The Sam’s Club meal kits were sold nationwide, whereas the Sprouts meal kits were sold in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.

If you have one of the impacted gyro meal kits on hand, dispose of it immediately or return it to your place of purchase for a refund. These products are being recalled due to the included tzatziki sauce containing cucumbers that have been connected to a nationwide Salmonella outbreak. If you purchased one of the recalled meal kits, you should not consume any part of the kit, as there is a possibility of cross contamination.

Salmonella infection (salmonellosis) can cause symptoms like diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. These symptoms can last up to seven days after infection. If you are experiencing signs of illness after eating the contaminated meal kits, talk to your doctor. Be sure to wash your hands and properly clean any surfaces in contact with potentially infected products after handling.
