The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Costco opened its own chicken processing facility to keep costs down for their rotisserie chickens. The plant routinely fails inspections, but apparently the inspecting agency can't shut them down. Which is good for Costco, but not good for consumers.

OK, but I don’t get the salmonella thing. The chickens are cooked at the local Costco, which (presumably) brings them to temperature which kills the pathogen, no? So (*and I am not advocating for fewer controls at the plant) how would they test for it at the plant, when they aren’t cooked yet?
