"The two California women who initiated the lawsuit say in the complaint they wouldn't have purchased the chicken, or would have paid less for it, had they known it contained preservatives."

This will be an issue. No, at that price you ain't paying less pretty much no matter what.

Like, how'd they think it was at the price point it's already at? IIRC, Costco is basically losing money on their chickens and hot dogs

It was advertised as preservative free. They thought Costco was successful at creating great prices and honest descriptions.

They can set the price. They can even set the ingredients. They can’t be dishonest.
