- Costco adds hot fan favorite to food court menu as shoppers debate taste and val...Costco shoppers have a new reason to linger after loading their carts with bulk paper towels and oversized snack packs: The retailer has added chicken strips to its famously affordable food court menu.The new offering includes five large, breaded chicken breast strips and a container of dipping sauce for $6.99. The combo clocks in at 1,640 calories.After appearing in select test markets earlier this year, the strips are now being reported at Costco warehouses across the country.WEALTHY AMERICANS CHOOSE ONE GROCERY STORE CHAIN OVER RIVALS, SURVEY FINDSThe chicken strips join a food court lineup best known for its $1.50 hot dog and soda combo, oversized pizza slices and selection of sandwiches and desserts. At nearly $7, the strips are more expensive than Costco’s signature hot dog deal. The orange-colored dipping sauce has drawn nearly as much attention as the chicken itself. Reviewers have compared its appearance to sauces served at popular chicken chains, though its flavor has been described as closer to a tangy or zesty honey mustard."Costco just dropped new chicken strips!!! Someone check on @chickfila; if there was a @costco drive-through, it would be over," Costco food blogger Lucas Gomes, @therealkirklandking, shared in an Instagram reel. "This sauce does not taste like Chick-fil-A sauce. I don’t know what this mystery sauce is, but it’s good."COSTCO SAYS YOUR NEXT CHECKOUT COULD TAKE UNDER 10 SECONDS THANKS TO NEW AUTOMATED PAY STATIONSAs with many changes to Costco’s closely watched food court, the reaction has been mixed. Some shoppers have praised the size of the strips and called the meal a strong value. Others have criticized the chicken as salty, dry or too heavily breaded.Costco has made several notable menu changes in recent years, including replacing its churro with a large chocolate chip cookie and introducing new sandwich options.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREFOX Business reached out to Costco for comment.

- Taylor Farms preparing recall, denies branded salads tied to outbreakFresh produce supplier Taylor Farms is preparing a recall tied to ingredients linked to a multistate Cyclospora outbreak, according to a Bloomberg News report, as the company says its branded salad products are not associated with the illnesses.Bloomberg, citing a document viewed by the outlet, reported Friday that the California-based produce company told federal regulators it is preparing a recall connected to the Food and Drug Administration's investigation into the parasite outbreak. The scope of any potential recall was not immediately clear, and it remains unclear which products could be affected.Taylor Farms responded Friday in a statement posted to Instagram, saying none of its branded salad kits are associated with the outbreak and that it is voluntarily removing iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico through its Taylor Farms de Mexico operation after receiving information from the FDA.FDA SAYS TACO BELL TO STOP USING LETTUCE SUPPLIER LINKED TO MULTISTATE PARASITE OUTBREAK"As a family owned and operated company, we are deeply concerned for those who became ill, their families, and the many Americans whose trust in the safety of their fresh produce has been shaken," the company said.The company added: "No Taylor Farms branded salads or kits are associated with this outbreak. No Taylor Farms branded salad kits contain iceberg lettuce."Taylor Farms said the FDA's trace back investigation identified what it described as "a specific independent farm" representing less than 1% of the U.S. iceberg lettuce supply as the potential source of the outbreak. The company said it has removed all iceberg lettuce from that growing region indefinitely.OHIO MAN SUES TACO BELL FRANCHISEE, CLAIMING CYCLOSPORA INFECTION LEFT HIM SICK FOR 2 WEEKSThe development comes days after Taco Bell removed some lettuce from restaurants in parts of the Midwest after federal health officials linked illnesses to shredded lettuce served at the fast-food chain and pointed investigators to a single supplier.Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that can cause severe diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, fatigue and other gastrointestinal symptoms.CLICK HERE TO GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GOThe FDA has not publicly identified a definitive source of the outbreak, and its investigation remains ongoing.Taylor Farms did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for additional comment.
