Over the last few weeks, one of Costco’s newest desserts has gone viral: its mini beignets. The circular, pillowy pockets are dusted with powdered sugar and stuffed with either a chocolatey, Nutella-like filling or a sweet, gooey caramel filling—and once you start tasting them, it’s hard not to eat the entire container! Though these baked goods are nothing short of delicious, they’re unfortunately at the center of a recall that has just escalated to an urgent level. Here, read all about the latest Costco recall of their mini beignets.
At the 2024 Summer Olympics, while the world was amazed by the impressive athletes representing countries across the globe, social media was more invested in something else—the food being served in the Olympic Village.

Why Costco recalled the mini beignets
Though Costco shoppers have been raving over this latest addition to the bakery section, the warehouse initiated a recall when it was discovered that packages meant to only contain caramel-filled beignets actually contained chocolate-hazelnut-filled beignets as well. That being said, the packaging did not indicate that the products inside contained hazelnut, putting those with potential allergies at great risk. According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) enforcement report, a total of 8,073 packages were affected by this error. These packages, labeled Kirkland Signature Mini Beignets Filled With Caramel, have an item number of #1181272. The UPC is 000011 812722. These products can be identified by their clear plastic container, containing 22 donuts. The pack dates on these items are between January 16 and January 30, 2026, with sell-by dates falling between January 19 and February 2, 2026. The packaging also labels allergens including wheat, egg, milk and soy, but fails to mention tree nuts.
