Costco chicken salad recalled in Colorado due to E. coli concerns

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, along with other western states and the CDC, are investigating illnesses caused by chicken salad purchased at Costco stores across Colorado.

“Chicken Salad made with Rotisserie Chicken” – item number 37719 – is being recalled due to E. coli concerns. Consumers who purchased the product should discard it.

Four cases of E. Coli have been confirmed in Colorado, including two cases in Jefferson County and one each in Arapahoe and Routt Counties.

Those affected purchased the product on Oct. 25 and 26.

CDPHE says the product has been pulled from store shelves.

Other states with confirmed E. coli cases linked to the chicken salad include Utah, Montana and Washington.

The FDA, USDA-FSIS, and CDC are working with Costco to determine the source of contamination.
