A Mexican burrito sold at the Costco Moriyama warehouse store in Nagoya City, Japan, was found to contain Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157, causing a food poisoning incident among consumers.
Costco Taiwan stated today (17th) that this product is not sold in Taiwan, and related similar products currently sold in stores comply with relevant food safety standards.
According to Japanese media reports, the Nagoya City Health Department indicated that a total of five individuals, aged between 7 and 49, experienced symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain after consuming Mexican burritos manufactured and sold by the Costco Moriyama warehouse store between late May and early June. All of them tested positive for STEC O157.
Among the affected customers, three were hospitalized, and one young boy developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and is currently still receiving treatment. The Nagoya City Health Department has recognized this as a food poisoning incident and ordered the store's kitchen to suspend operations.
Costco Taiwan responded today, stating that an investigation confirmed that Costco Taiwan does not sell the product involved in this food safety incident in Japan. Related similar products currently sold in stores comply with relevant food safety standards.
