Beef Hot Dogs
Kirkland Signature Beef Hot Dogs feature sodium nitrite, an additive linked to an increased risk of cancer, as well as other unhealthy additives and a ton of salt.
Organic Lemonade
One serving of this lemonade has 58% of the FDA's daily recommended sugar intake, and the lemon juice comes from concentrate, which can lack beneficial vitamins.
Rotisserie Chicken
Per a 2021 undercover investigation by Mercy for Animals, Costco chickens are often subjected to cruel environments that prioritize cost over animal welfare.
In addition, a 3-ounce serving of rotisserie chicken has 460 milligrams of sodium, 19% of the daily recommended intake. It also contains carrageenan, which causes inflammation.
Sliced Bacon
This bacon contains sodium nitrite, a preservative linked to cancer. It also has sodium phosphate and sodium erythorbate, adding to its overly synthetic nature.
Peanut Butter Pretzel
Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets contain mono and diglycerides, two common emulsifiers, and also pack in a lot of saturated fat.
