There is no lot number on my bag?
If you purchased the product between the dates noted, then I’d suggest you just return it. In all likelihood, the product is probably safe – but just not worth the risk. Since Costco has a fantastic refund policy, they’ll take it back regardless of the date (or lack thereof) and it’s just safer to swap it for a new bag and know you’ve got safe product.
Thanks for visiting CostContessa!!!
