This Costco Item Sold in 17 States Is Being Recalled

A month after a snack sold at warehouses in several states was recalled for potentially containing lead, another pantry staple is being pulled by Costco. This time the item has the possibility that it could contain small rocks.

Conagra Brands has confirmed with Eat This, Not That! that 8- or 16-ounce cans of the Rosarita Organic Refried Beans sold at Costco warehouses in 17 states across the country are being recalled. Because Costco tracks the items members purchase in-store and online, a notice was sent to those who took the beans home or had them delivered recently. In the document, the company says that the recall is being issued in cooperation with the FDA and that no other Rosarita or Canagra brands are involved.

The beans have a Costco item code of 1169666. They were sold in 17 states, Conagra says, including Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Utah.
