You Cannot But These Essentials At Costco Anymore – Here’s The Full List
RoundUp
RoundUp was a viral weed killer by Costco. But the item became highly controversial when a couple, Alva and Alberta, filed a complaint against the company, stating that the product causes chronic illness. Later, these aware consumers were awarded by the court and the company because their claims were correct. This case had the potential to damage the reputation of Costco, so with immediate effect, they discarded the sale of the product.
The company never came back with such a product, and for that matter, no substitute was available at Costco as they believe in quality, not quantity, and the public is at risk.
BBQ Beef Brisket Sandwich
The flagship sandwich of the company, the BBQ beef brisket sandwich, was trendy and, according to their customers, was the best thing on their menu. However, Costco stopped selling this sandwich without giving a statement or reason. The sandwich was already limited and was not available at all Costco stores.

The company brought back the sandwich with a twist. Costco replaced this unique, yummy, and saucy beef barbeque sandwich with a cup of chili, which was not liked at all, and got a complete thumbs down from the consumers. As of now, people are missing their favorite sandwich and are hoping for its grand return.
Kirkland Signature Turkey Burgers
The consumers thought Costco could replace unhealthy items from their menu, but they could not remove a healthy snack. The company proved them wrong once their favorite Kirkland Signature Turkey Burgers were removed from the shelves. The snack had only 200- calories per patty, was also low in fat and carbs, and not only this, each cake had 35 gms of protein. But Costco had some other plans, and they pulled it back.

Another substitute was kept in their freezers but could not impress the buyers as it was incomparable with the original burger with its melting cheese inside.
Kirkland Signature Light Beer
Costco stopped selling the Kirkland Signature Light Beer in 2018 that costs $0.50 a can. This decision was taken as the taste of this beer was not liked by most of the people, and they disgraced it to the next level. The taste of the beer was compared to a urine-soaked diaper and battery acid. As Costco believes in quality, they decided to remove it from their shelves immediately.

Due to a low amount of alcohol, it ranked in a poor position of beer and was also harming the company’s reputation. The negative word of mouth caught attention when a man reviewed it in his backyard.
Threatened Seafood
Costco came under the radar of several environmental groups for selling seafood that included endangered species. And once they directly questioned the company, Costco introduced a new business policy to do a sustainable business and protect the endangered plants and animals.

Now the company has ties with sources that are certified and do not harm the sea world. The company’s fish pulled from the display are Atlantic cod, Atlantic halibut, Chilean sea bass, grouper, monkfish, redfish, swordfish, and bluefin tuna. The huge controversy was prevented after the company took immediate actions against their mistake. People miss their favorite seafood, but it is all done for good.
Chaokoh Coconut Milk
Costco stopped selling the Chaokoh Coconut Milk after PETA accused its Thailand-based manufacturer of using forced monkey labor. The animal rights group found in their investigations that cruelty was being done to monkeys. The animals were being forced to pick coconuts and were kept chained and caged. To prevent the monkeys from being rebellious, their teeth were pulled out.

Immediately after the incident caught public attention, Costco broke all ties with the Asian company. They also removed all the milk cans from their shelves. However, a statement by the company was never released, and Costco managed to brush it all under the carpet.
All American Chocolate Cake
The headlines that Costco makes usually contain an item disappearing from the store or making a triumphant comeback. Here, the latter seems to be the case as the mini version of All American Cake is here.

It all started when Costco discontinued its delicious cake and had no proper reasoning for its decision. This made their customers angry, and they signed the petition in the quest to bring their favorite cake back. The petition was signed by more than 7200 people compelling the bakery to release a mini version of the cake. The new mini version is sized like a muffin and is being loved by consumers.
Half Sheet Cake
The Americans used to thrive on Half Sheet Cake, and it was the life of every party they hosted. The cake was so fulfilling that even after feeding 50 people, there was always some left for binging later. The best part about the cake was that it came at a very reasonable price.

Costco stopped this rectangular creation to discourage large gatherings in the time of Covid-19. The freshness and the fantastic taste of the cake are what the people will miss the most, and they are taking this action as another casualty in the coronavirus. A 10-inch round-shaped cake has replaced the cake.
Hand-Dipped Ice-Cream Bars
The real reason for discontinuing this delicious and very affordable ice cream bar was never apparent. But a news source reported that rising food costs for dairy and almonds could be the reason why they discontinued this delightful ice cream. Another reason could be that the company was not yielding enough profits from the item.

The ice cream had an amalgamation of chocolate and vanilla with almonds sprinkled on top. The company later replaced this ice cream with Kirkland brand bars that also got immensely popular. These new bars put to rest the cravings that the consumers had for their formerly loved ice cream.
RoundUp
RoundUp was a viral weed killer by Costco. But the item became highly controversial when a couple, Alva and Alberta, filed a complaint against the company, stating that the product causes chronic illness. Later, these aware consumers were awarded by the court and the company because their claims were correct. This case had the potential to damage the reputation of Costco, so with immediate effect, they discarded the sale of the product.

The company never came back with such a product, and for that matter, no substitute was available at Costco as they believe in quality, not quantity, and the public is at risk.
Chocolate Frozen Yogurt
Another staple item from Costco, the Chocolate Frozen Yogurt, also got abandoned by the company. The reason was that the company was going healthier, and sticking to healthier food options will yield them profits. However, this was not the case with this flavourful yogurt. A petition was signed to bring back this thick creamy dessert on the shelves, and it seems like the company’s heart was more frozen than the yogurt, and they declined the petition.

A new substitute was introduced to replace the item, and it was an acai banana chips bowl with blueberries and strawberries slices. This did not impress the Americans, and they still craved yogurt.
Kirkland Signature American Cheese
Who removes cheese from their shelves? Well, it’s Costco. They can do anything. Not long ago when the company decided to stop the production of the Kirkland Signature American Cheese. One packet had 120 slices and came in many flavors. This easy-to-melt cheese was the best accompaniment for grilled chicken burgers.

There was no reason for it to disappear as it came in no individual packing preventing the plastic taste; it was supremely affordable and delicious that won’t last in the refrigerator for long. There are many cheese options in Costco, but this one is a major miss. Let us wait for the company to bring it back.
Fresh Made Gelato
The freshly made Gelato was discontinued a long time back, and only members who have a long association with the company know its worth. The dessert came in three flavors: mixed berry, pistachio, and stracciatella, and the latter were the best amongst them. Vanilla and coco chips add ons were also available.

To make this item more irresistible, Costco charged only $1.50 for three scoops of the flavor of your choice served in a crunchy waffle cone. A petition was signed to bring it back; , the company ignored it as it has gotten used to ignoring customer petitions and keeps on moving ahead.
Kirkland Signature 5 Pocket Jeans
Apart from their experiments in the culinary department, Costco also launched a clothing line in 2016. They introduced jeans with five pockets designed for men, and the people loved them for their dope style and great fabric. Later the apparel was reintroduced, but this time everything deteriorated,from its quality to its design. People also complained about a lousy material making the jeans, and their colors faded after a wash.

The jeans that shared its concept from cargo pants were immediately pulled back from the store as the rise in complaints could have harmed their long-built reputation.
Cuddle with Me Dolls
These dolls were considered racially offensive as they were designed for three different races Caucasian, African- American, and Hispanic. Racial discrimination is one such thing that blacks have been dealing with for a long time. Dolls like these are highly insensitive, and a plush monkey attached to it further worsened the controversy.

The sale of these dolls was stopped in 2009 after a complaint was filed against the company. This complaint was about the color of the doll and what small kids would perceive from this toy. Also, the reason behind attaching a monkey was asked. The company had no logical reasoning, and they stopped its production and apologized.
