Endangered seafood
Costco tries to do its part for sustainability by removing all the fish that are on the endangered species list. Also, the chain is fully committed to working only with fish and shellfish wholesalers known to use sustainable fishing farming practices. Some of the fish they no longer sell might include Atlantic cod, Atlantic halibut, Chilean sea bass, shark, swordfish, but also bluefin tuna.
It’s a great idea not to buy these endangered fish species from other places, just to ensure they won’t disappear. Plus, there are many other types of fish that were grown in a sustainable manner.

I loved the combo pizzas, and haven’t bought any of their pizzas since they quit selling the combo years ago. It was a huge disappointment. I am planning on trying Sams combo now that I’m a member there as well.
I hated.the decision too. I don’t buy pizza at COSTCO anymore either!
Keep saying ok to what the government tells you what to do, business big mistake. Run your own buiness or government will put you out of business
TRUE THAT!
indeed costco, communism workin its way slowly everywhere………..
We really do like and enjoy Costco. They provide excellent products a fair prices and even they are a large store, shopping there is a pleasure.
Eliminating most of these items from their stock is a huge mistake in my opinion, especially the polish hotdog, combo pizzas, and roundup, a product I use to control certain highly INVASIVE weeds. Control of undesirable plants (kudzu, ivy (poison), creeper, etc) in urban properties is certainly a worthy community supported effort. Also, if eliminating the chocolate dipped cone means eliminating soft serve ice cream and their sundaes, its a disastrous business decision — if keeping loyal (over 30 years) customers is a thing Costco wishes to do. This is depressing news!
Sam’s Club, here we come!
Bought Urban Star for Hubby, did not like them at LL, I NEED TO THINK WHY. I tried to write Urban Star, to no avail. Will get back to you soon!!!
MOST OF THE LIST WERE DISCONTINUED TWO YEARS OR MORE AGO. ICE CREAM BARS AND CONES, POLISH DOGS YEARS AGO, COMBO PIZZA, KIRKLAND JEANS ABOUT ONE YEAR, WHY CHOOSE WALMART FOR A SUBSTITUTE? THERE ARE OTHER STORES THAT HAVE BETTER STUFF LIKE ALDI AND GROCERY OUTLET.
Will Costco still be selling the regular hot dogs + a drink for $1.00 at the snack bar??
I hope so.
Goo9d on the cage free eggs -the correct term for caged eggs is battery egg farming. Check it out -it is sheer evil. Also so much anti biotics used you do not want them in your body. Shame still selling Bud light.
