Costco rotisserie chicken preservative-free label at center of class-action

A nationwide class-action alleges Costco misled customers by labeling Kirkland Signature Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken as preservative-free, claiming the product contains sodium phosphate and carrageenan that act as preservatives and that Costco has cheated customers out of tens to hundreds of millions of dollars; two consumers filed in a Southern District of California federal court on Jan. 22. Costco says it removed preservative-free signage and notes the ingredients are used for moisture and texture and are approved by food-safety authorities.

"The Hidden Secrets Behind Rotisserie Chicken Vendors"

Rotisserie chicken vendors have some secrets they don't want you to know. While they may seem like a great deal, cheap rotisserie chickens are used as a ploy to make you spend more money at the store. Some stores waste perfectly good chickens at the end of the day, contributing to food waste. The packaging of rotisserie chickens creates a lot of plastic waste, although some stores are making efforts to reduce it. The quality and taste of rotisserie chickens can vary based on the supplier. Some rotisserie chickens are nearly expired or reused to make other products. Rotisserie chickens often contain risky additives and have high levels of sodium and saturated fat. Additionally, some rotisserie chickens are not produced in a humane manner, and workers in the industry may face poor working conditions. Finally, improper storage of rotisserie chickens can lead to bacterial growth and potential foodborne illnesses.

Costco's Billion-Dollar Investment in Poultry Farming and $4.99 Rotisserie Chickens.

Costco has spent $1 billion to build a state-of-the-art chicken processing plant in Nebraska, which processes two million chickens a week, coming from its own network of chicken farmers. The plant has 500 chicken houses, each containing 42,000 chickens, and is the only retailer to have such an operation. The facility helps ensure that its popular $4.99 rotisserie chicken can remain in stores, at the same price for years, and provides a strategic advantage over its rivals. Costco has secured around 100 million of the 400 million chickens it's estimated to sell annually, and roughly half of the plant's chicken ends up on rotisserie spits.

Costco's Billion-Dollar Investment in $4.99 Rotisserie Chickens.

Costco's wholly owned subsidiary, Lincoln Premium Processing, built the first chicken slaughterhouse in America in years to ensure a steady supply of its iconic $4.99 rotisserie chicken. The plant has overcome massive floods, the pandemic, and winter storm Uri, which caused the energy grid to fail in Texas. The experience underscores the fragility of our food supply and the challenges of producing food as the climate crisis worsens. Forbes got a rare look inside the plant and the farm that raises chickens for Costco.
