The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued a public health alert for frozen, ready-to-eat turkey stuffed pastry products sold at multiple Costco locations in the Midwest. Some boxes of the La Boulangerie Turkey Pesto & Swiss Cheese Pockets were found to contain ham- and cheese-stuffed pastries instead, raising concerns for consumers who need to avoid pork for dietary, religious, or medical reasons.

Why it matters

The mislabeling could pose a risk for people with specific dietary restrictions or food sensitivities who purchased the product under the assumption it contained turkey. While no adverse health reactions have been reported, the USDA issued the alert to warn consumers about the issue.

The details

The affected products come in 25.4-ounce boxes and contain eight of the La Boulangerie Turkey Pesto & Swiss Cheese Pockets. The affected boxes carry the lot code 04926, best by date of February 18, 2027, and the establishment number P-51243A. The products were shipped to several Costco locations across the Midwest.

• The USDA issued the public health alert on March 15, 2026.

What’s next

The USDA said a formal product recall was not needed because the affected products are no longer available for purchase in stores. However, consumers are advised to check their freezers and take appropriate action if they have the affected lot.
