Costco's Alfa croissants: mould in the 24-count box
Alfa croissants with cocoa cream filling may carry mould — lots 10726 and 08626 sold Jun–Jul 2026 at Costco Business Centres. Do not consume; refund.
Distribution M.F.G · 2026-07-29
What happened
Distribution M.F.G Inc. recalled Alfa Croissants with cocoa cream filling — 24-count boxes, item 2077888, lots 10726 and 08626 — over the potential presence of mould. They sold at Costco Business Centres and CostcoBusinesscentre.ca from June to July 2026; the recall was posted July 29, 2026.
Do not consume, serve, use, sell or distribute the product; a refund runs through the place of purchase.
A warehouse staple whose cream filling turned before the box left the shelf.
Why it happened
- Possible mould in cocoa-cream croissants, lots 10726/08626 — sold Jun–Jul 2026 at Costco Business Centres; recalled 29 Jul 2026
- The cream filling is the perishable heart of a shelf-stable-looking box — the mould starts where the sugar is
- The recall's channel is the business centre — the croissants meant for cafés and resellers
The lesson
A filled pastry is a race between the cream and the calendar. Two lots lost the race on Costco's shelves — the recall is the calendar's verdict, printed two months late.
