Costco Chicken Labeling Lawsuit

Costco’s rotisserie chicken is at the center of a fiery legal battle after a class-action lawsuit claims the “no preservatives” label is misleading—despite ingredients like sodium phosphate and carrageenan being listed as part of the seasoning. Costco argues these aren’t legally considered preservatives and that transparency is already on the label, while plaintiffs say customers paid a premium for a false impression of health. The case hinges on how “preservative” is defined—and whether trust in food labeling can be broken by a single phrase. Even as Costco keeps the price at $4.99, the lawsuit could reshape how food companies market their products. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
