What is the Costco Rotisserie Chicken Salmonella Settlement about?
A class action lawsuit (Taylor v. Costco Wholesale Corporation, Case No. 2:26-cv-00528) was filed February 12, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The complaint alleges Costco's Lincoln Premium Poultry processing facility in Fremont, Nebraska—which supplies Kirkland Signature rotisserie chickens nationwide—suffers from chronic, uncontrolled Salmonella contamination. The facility reportedly earned the USDA's worst food safety rating (Category 3) in 92% of reporting periods since opening in 2019 and failed every monthly Salmonella test from late 2023 through mid-2025. Over 9.8% of whole chickens and 15.4% of chicken parts allegedly tested positive for Salmonella. The case is brought by Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC and Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith LLP. This is a lawsuit, not a settlement; no claims process or payout information exists at this time. This listing may involve a proposed or pending settlement. Final approval, claim availability, eligibility, timing, and any payment depend on court approval, administrator instructions, and final settlement terms. Payout does not administer the settlement, determine eligibility, or guarantee payment.
