Costco has denied claims of salmonella risk in its $5 rotisserie chicken following a proposed class-action lawsuit. Plaintiff Lisa Taylor alleges that salmonello contamination at Costco's poultry facility, Lincoln Premium Poultry, has led to a food safety crisis. However, Costco's attorneys argue that the lawsuit is not true due to numerous factors such as the company's fully cooked chicken and labeling of its poultry products. The company also disputes Taylor's claim that the meat is labeled with safety, cooking and handling instructions to inform consumers about any risks.
