Summary
Costco’s rotisserie chicken is under fire in court after plaintiffs sue over its “no preservatives” label, claiming sodium phosphate and carrageenan count as preservatives — making the claim misleading. Costco fires back, calling the lawsuit “fatally flawed,” arguing those ingredients are part of the seasoning, not preservation, and pointing to unchanged pricing as proof no premium was charged. Though Costco removed the label after filing, lawyers say it was just for consistency — not an admission of guilt. With a judge set to rule on dismissal August 13, this battle over a beloved $4.99 staple could reshape how we think about food labels — and whether Costco’s customers are really fooled.
