has some customers clucking that the prepared poultry has had a chemical taste as of late, according to a Reddit thread from last week.Reddit user u/MillennialModernMan wrote. “Same thing happened last time about three weeks ago.
This was never a problem before, been buying it for years, has something changed recently?” The post — which was titled “What’s up with the rotisserie chicken lately?” — was flooded with hundreds of comments from many complaining about the roast bird’s smell and taste.Bloomberg via Getty Images “I thought I was losing it/had Covid again when I tried a rotisserie chicken recently and it tasted…chemically and soapy? So odd,” another user wrote.We catered our wedding from Costco for $800, and the internet fell in love “Yes, I’ve noticed a distinct chlorine-like taste. I’ve stopped eating it about a year ago due to the strange chemical taste. I use the Albany, OR store,” the Oregon-based customer responded in the Reddit thread. At $4.99, the rotisserie chicken has long been a bargain for club members – and something that the company’s Chief Financial Officer Richard Galanti has boasted about amid the rising costs of food and freight.maintained the company would keep the price of the chicken just under $5 to entice people to buy a membership. Reddit commenters described the chickens as tasting like “chemicals” and having a “distinct chlorine-like taste.”Other citizen food journalists hypothesized that the type of chicken and the way it’s cooled after being butchered as an antibacterial precaution could be to blame. Another user, claiming to have worked at a Costco warehouse, said: “I don’t know about other warehouses, but we get chicken from two suppliers. For my coworkers and I, we don’t really like the chicken from one of them and just refer to it as bad chicken. It doesn’t cook really well as the one from the other supplier, and i’ve heard the taste isn’t really good.”
