Among the items recalled include an emergency protein bucket, chicken and cheese taquitos, and a chicken truffle carbonara. 

Shoppers that bought the Readywise emergency protein bucket were told not to eat it, per a warning issued by the company.

Jim Martin, the company CEO, ordered shoppers to return the item to their local warehouse, according to a letter seen by The U.S. Sun.

“Food safety, quality, and customer satisfaction are priorities within the Readywise organization,” he said.

Costco chiefs issued recalls for a chicken truffle carbonara meal kit and told shoppers not to eat it. 

Customers were also ordered to return a tagliatelle dish containing chicken and portobello mushroom sauce. 

The manufacturer of the ready meals, Rana Meal Solutions, apologized for the inconvenience caused.
