Subject: Re: failed inspections
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?
