- Costco shopper buys rotisserie chicken — warns others to ‘be careful’ after noticing what was inside (marketrealist.com)
A TikTok user is warning Costco shoppers to check their rotisserie chickens after a disturbing discovery. Bryce Hammond (@brycehammond4) posted a video showing a concerningly discolored chicken he purchased from the warehouse giant. The video quickly went viral, sparking discussion and disgust among viewers.
Hammond described the chicken as “completely infected” and “absolutely disgusting,” showing images of dark red meat and what appeared to be blood clots. He expressed his disgust and stated he returned the chicken to Costco.
Some commenters shared Hammond’s revulsion, with one saying the video was the final straw in their relationship with chicken. Others offered potential explanations, suggesting the discoloration could be due to internal bleeding caused by mishandling of the bird before slaughter. One commenter cited the abuse these birds endure, expressing discomfort with consuming meat from such sources.
While the exact cause of the discoloration remains unclear, Hammond’s video serves as a reminder to consumers to carefully inspect their food purchases.
