Costco Chicken Quality Misrepresentation Investigation

Did Costco Mislead Consumers About the Quality and Safety of Its Rotisserie Chicken and Kirkland Brand Raw Chicken?

Costco markets its chicken products – including the popular $4.99 rotisserie chicken and Kirkland Signature raw chicken – as high‑quality, safe, and responsibly sourced. But recent USDA data is reported to show that Costco’s poultry plant in Nebraska – the facility responsible for producing millions of chickens sold nationwide – has repeatedly failed federal salmonella performance standards for years.

Our firm is investigating whether Costco’s marketing and labeling practices misled consumers and violated state consumer‑protection laws.

The USDA Findings Raise Serious Concerns about Product Safety and Consumer Deception.

Costco’s chicken plant failed federal salmonella standards 92% of the time since 2019
From September 2023 to July 2025, the plant was rated Category 3 (worst rating) 100% of the time
USDA lacks authority to stop contaminated raw poultry from being sold
Costco continues to market its chicken as high‑quality, safe, and responsibly sourced
