OMG! A Major Bombshell Was Just Dropped About Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken In Court
June 18, 2022 by Faith Geiger
Unsettling information about Costco‘s iconic $4.99 rotisserie chicken was just revealed in court: a lawsuit filed this week in Washington claims that the birds at the store’s chicken processing plant were mistreated, CBS reports.
The suit, which was filed on Monday, alleges that Costco partakes in “illegal neglect and abandonment” at their $450 million chicken processing plant in Nebraska, as well as in Iowa. The warehouse store is being accused of inhumane acts such as breeding the chickens so that they are too large to stand on their own. When bred this way, the birds eventually die from “hunger, injury and illness.” These practices are illegal in both states in which the store keeps birds for their rotisserie chickens.
