Retailer Costco apologized Wednesday for labeling Bibles as fiction at a store in Simi Valley, Calif.

Pastor Caleb Kaltenbach originally made the discovery when he visited the store and posted it to Twitter on Nov. 15.

Kaltenbach later wrote on Twitter, "Just so everyone knows: I'm not outraged, angry, or stunned. I thought the label at Costco on the Bible was interesting."

Costco said in an e-mail to Fox News that it 'deeply regretted' the incident and 'meant no offense.'

"The buyer let us know that this was an error and the books are being pulled off the shelves to be re-marked," Costco said in a statement to Fox.

The warehouse chain said the distributor had made the error on a small number of Bibles. "However we take responsibility and should have caught the mistake."
