Costco Canada Recalls Alfa Croissants Over Mould Risk on August 5

Costco Canada has recalled 24-count packages of Alfa Croissants with cocoa cream filling due to potential mould contamination. The recall covers lot codes 10726 and 08626, sold at Costco Business Centres and CostcoBusinessCentre.ca between June and July 2026. Customers are urged not to consume the product and to return it for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported.

What products are affected by the recall

Distribution M.F.G Inc. is recalling Alfa Croissants in 24-count packages with cocoa cream filling. The recall applies to lot codes 10726 and 08626, corresponding to Costco item number 2077888. The affected croissants were sold at Costco Business Centres across Canada and through CostcoBusinessCentre.ca between June and July 2026. Consumers should check the lot code on their packaging against the recalled codes.

Why the croissants are being recalled

The recall was triggered after the manufacturer identified potential mould on the product. Mould contamination in bakery items typically stems from manufacturing or storage issues affecting moisture levels in a specific production batch. The company has not disclosed how the contamination was discovered or whether any illnesses have been linked to the affected croissants.

Who is most affected by this recall

Costco Business Centres operate separately from standard Costco warehouse locations and cater primarily to business members purchasing in bulk for restaurants, offices, and other commercial operations. The recall’s direct impact is concentrated among this business customer base rather than typical Costco shoppers. Consumers who purchased the affected croissants have been told not to consume, serve, sell, or distribute the product.

How to get a refund

Customers who have the affected Alfa Croissants should return the product to the place of purchase for a refund. Costco warehouse locations accept returns at their customer service counters. Consumers are advised to check the lot code on the packaging to confirm whether their product is part of the recall before returning it.

Final Thoughts

The Alfa Croissants recall is part of a broader pattern of food safety notices affecting packaged baked goods sold through major Canadian retailers this year. Costco shareholders should monitor product liability exposure as regulatory scrutiny of packaged foods intensifies.
