We all love a savory Costco rotisserie chicken, but did you know your favorite bird is at the center of a massive legal “roast”? A new class-action lawsuit alleges that Costco misled shoppers by claiming their chickens have “no preservatives.” The catch? They reportedly contain sodium phosphate and carrageenan—ingredients used to keep that meat juicy and shelf-stable.
While these additives are safe, the “no preservative” promise has landing Costco in hot water. For savvy consumers, this is more than just gossip—it’s an opportunity to take advantage of a potential settlement! If you’ve bought a Kirkland rotisserie chicken recently, you might eventually be eligible for a slice of the pie (or the bird).
Class actions are a great way for everyday shoppers to hold big retailers accountable—and maybe get a few bucks back for their trouble. Keep those receipts handy!
