Costco's "Oops, We Poisoned the Food Again" Sale
So, Costco's at it again, huh? This time it's not just some random Amazon seller's garbage, it's their garbage winding up in your gut. Golden Island pork jerky, Caesar salad, chicken sandwiches... what's next, the Kirkland Signature vodka?
2. 2 million pounds of jerky recalled because some genius let metal fragments get into the mix. Metal. Fragments. You know, like the kind that can shred your insides? And the salads and sandwiches? Plastic. Because apparently quality control is just a suggestion these days. Costco issues urgent recall on 3 bestselling items - rollingout.com
The Blame Game: Who's Really Screwing Up?
Okay, let's be real. LSI, Inc., Ventura Foods… these companies are pointing fingers, but Costco's name is on the packaging. Their brand is getting dragged through the mud. They're the ones who ultimately chose to source from these clowns.
And "metal fragments from the conveyor belt"? Give me a break. How old is their equipment? Are they running a factory or a museum? I mean, come on.
Then there's Ventura Foods, screwing up the dressing for the salads and sandwiches. It's always the dressing, isn't it? Like the iceberg lettuce wasn't bad enough.
But wait, it gets better. No reported injuries. Yet. That's the part that really boils my blood. They're waiting for someone to choke on a shard of plastic before they take this seriously? It's like playing Russian Roulette with your digestive system.
Are We Just Gonna Keep Eating Garbage?
Honestly, what's it going to take? Another massive recall? Someone getting seriously injured? I'm starting to think we're all just lab rats in some giant food experiment.
This ain't the first time this has happened either. July 2025, Ada Valley ground beef recalled for metal. This feels like a trend, not an accident.
And what are we supposed to do? Just keep returning this crap to Costco for a refund? Like that makes up for the potential health risks? Like that restores any faith in the food supply chain? Costco can issue all the refunds they want but it does't erase the fact that I almost ate metal.
Offcourse, Costco's PR team is probably working overtime right now, spinning this as "an isolated incident" and "our commitment to quality." Yeah, right. Why people are searching for ‘Costco recalls’ right now - CNN
So, What's the Real Story?
Look, I'm not saying Costco is trying to poison us. But they're clearly not doing enough to prevent this from happening. Enhanced monitoring? Stricter quality controls? Improved equipment maintenance? That's just corporate speak. What we need is accountability. Someone needs to lose their job over this. And maybe, just maybe, we'll start seeing some real change. But let's be real, that ain't gonna happen.
