Costco Canada is recalling a chicken breast product due to the potential presence of an “undeclared soy allergen.”
According to Costco Canada’s official website, the affected product is the Rossdown Meal Starters Black Garlic Chicken Breast Chunks sold between August 2026 and September 2026.
“Rossdown Farms & Natural Foods is recalling certain Lot Number/Production of the Rossdown Meal Starters Black Garlic Chicken Breast Chunks due to the potential presence of an undeclared soy allergen,” the website says.
That means that the label doesn’t mention soy on the ingredient list but the product could still contain it.
The recalled products can be identified by their lot number and production which includes lot number 2461263 with production on Aug. 10, 2026, and lot number 2461272 with production on Aug. 19, 2026.
The UPC code for both sets of lot numbers and production dates is 6 28000 60094 7.

Costco Canada says to not consume this product if you are allergic or sensitive to soy.
“Consuming products to which you are allergic or sensitive may cause a serious or life-threatening reaction,” the recall notice adds.
Those who purchased the recalled Rossdown Meal Starters Black Garlic Chicken Breast Chunks can return the product to a Costco warehouse to obtain a full refund.
This is one of many recalls that have taken place at Costco Canada over recent months.
In August, Costco Canada pulled certain yogurt products off its shelves due to potential mould.
The Greek Gods’ Honey Yogurt and Organic Yogurt Plain items, both sold in two 650-gram containers, were recalled by the company.
The company also voluntarily recalled multiple products in July including the Panasonic toaster oven, Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo candy bars, Alfa croissants and the Aston Martin Formula One 36V Go-Kart.
Obviously Quality Control is a thing of the past!
Costco is an American company. I wonder of the elbows up crowd will put their money where their mouth is.
I’m a stooge. Just ignore my ignorance
Instead, Costco should remove all meats and only provide daily cut fresh grass and alfalfa for vegan shoppers. Lol
@Gerry. I believe they were produced in Abbortsford, BC.
were these American or Canadian products?
@Try this. Maybe look up the peer reviewed studies by medical professionals including allergists before commenting about my apparent lack of statistics. You are talking about soy allergy alone, by itself. Soy allergy can be combined with peanut allergy, for example. Maybe you should look up some peer reviewed studies on the NIH database, taking into account combinations of allergies first before trotting out assumptions?

We have way to much FOOD CONTROL.
“Infants and young children are the most likely to have a soy allergy. Approximately 0.4% of infants in the U.S. are allergic to soy.”
So there is probably less than 1 in 1000 that might be allergic, to the potential (no numbers but probably in the same range). That would make it 1 in a million. Hardly even worth mentioning. so I wish people like Ben would learn statistics and realise just how much we do not need more food regulation in Canada.
Wish we had more food regulation in Canada
