Roundup
Costco may have removed this Monsanto-owned weed-killer from store shelves due to a Change.org petition with over 85,000 signatures. Zen Honeycutt, the founder of Moms Across America, started a petition asking the retailer to stop selling Roundup after billion-dollar lawsuits claimed the herbicide caused cancer. Roundup would no longer be sold in American warehouses, Honeycutt announced on her website after speaking with three people from Costco headquarters. Several cities in the United States have either banned or restricted the substance.
BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich
Fans were outraged when the retailer swept grease aside to make room for healthier meals, even though this food court favorite was only available at a few Costco locations. The beef was juicy and dripping with sweet BBQ sauce, and it was topped with creamy coleslaw. However, at $4.99, it was unlikely to attract the same level of attention as the menu’s lower-priced items. In 2018, Fortune reported that “at least some” warehouses had discontinued the BBQ beef brisket sandwich, but Kitchn suggested in 2019 that it resurfaces as a seasonal item on occasion.
