But it’s time to check your pantry because two popular stores are announcing major recalls. Costco and Whole Foods are recalling broths and bone broths manufactured by Tree House Foods for possible microbial contamination. Costco is recalling Culinary Treasures Organic Chicken Bone Broth that was sold over the past year between September 8, 2022, and September 22, 2023, while Whole Foods is recalling three of its 365 brand organic chicken broth varieties sold between July 24, 2022, and September 21, 2023. “The product may have the potential for non-pathogenic microbial contamination, which may result in product bloating, shortened shelf-life, and potential for early spoilage,” according to a recall letter sent to Costco members and shoppers.
