Where does Costco meat come from ? https://www.aisleofshame.com/where-does-costco-meat-come-from/
Fun US-Canada trade Trump demand. Canada should not be allowed to inspect US milk to detect if it is cancer milk instead of organic. I doubt Americans will be allowed to know if they are buying US prime or mystery meat pretending to be prime either.
Costco is a good, socially responsible corporation, most aren't.
Late stage carnism.
I'll pile on. They threw their weight in and fought back against the tariffs also: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/03/nx-s1-5628405/costco-sues-the-trump-administration-over-tariffs
I feel slightly out of touch here, what's up with this Trump Mystery Meat?
the big orange man wants americans to have government subsidized hamburgers so people think that food costs arent as insane as they are, but he refuses to say where he's getting it from. the general consensus seems to be that he's allowing the import of a bunch of meat that was rejected by other countries for failing to meet quality standards. because that's how you help struggling cattle ranchers, after all.
"We have Russian Mobniks cube at home,"
-said the Americans.
Word is the mystery meat is all that Argentine beef that was recalled recently.
The meat was rejected by China due to the high amount of neurotoxic antibiotics they detected in it.
I might have to go vegetarian if this is the future of meat thanks to Trump.
Come, join us, as we feast on seitan.
My vegan office mate keeps pushing this stuff. She loves it. Apparently it's entirely wheat gluten or something. I have to keep reminding her that I have Celiac, but you know how vegans are.
Tempeh and TVP are soybean products and also really good.
They're proteins with a meat-adjacent texture and a blank slate for flavor.
But seitan crisps up soooo good. There is this place near me that has these Korean seitan "boneless ribs" type thing with some wasabi/mustard sauce and my apologies to your sphincter but they would be worth it to try.
Hail Seitan!
Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women.
Wait... What?
The golf club company ran an ad where a woman went to touch a golf club and her man pushed her down and threatened her for her transgression.
Costco stopped carrying their clubs in response
Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program
The meat comes from Russia I'd wager . The CIA director travelled on the c17 Globemaster heavy lift aircraft to deliver Fort Knox as payment.
(I'm being conspiracy sarcastic btw)
Americans will eat from the scraps left over from the mystery meat cube of bakhmut.
As much as this is basically an ad, I agree.
Support businesses that don't take any shit because then you know they actually care about providing a service in addition to making money, as opposed to strictly the latter no holds barred.
Costco was very clear with the tariffs that they would eat the cost and just sue because they felt it was illegal. Low and behold, it was illegal, and they are getting a refund after not raising costs like everyone else. And their customers loved them for it.
This is actually their entire buisness model as well. They don't really make much money from their products. They make almost 100% profit from their memberships. If I remember right, over 2/3 of their total profit comes from membership revenue. So if they piss people off and make them cancel their membership, that would really fuck them over.
Costco Canada employee here...
Idk if it's the same in the US, but up here the highest markup on anything is 14% above cost.
I think it is about the same here.
