Earlier this year, Costco <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/costco-rotisserie-chicken-walmart-whole-foods\/\">changed from using plastic clamshell packaging<\/a> to thinner plastic bags for its rotisserie chicken in a bid to reduce plastic usage and waste. Initially, customers complained of the bag leaking and had concerns about storing the bird in their refrigerators.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-the-concerns\">About the concerns<\/h2>\n<p>The poster\u2019s summation that allowing the chicken to stew in its own juices might not be too far off. With leaks reported by customers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/health\/food-safety\/are-the-costco-rotisserie-chicken-bags-safe-a1012811997\/#:~:text=But%20you're%20not%20quite,%2Dpathogens%2C\u201d%20Rogers%20says.\">Consumer Reports<\/a> dove in to determine if the bags are safe. Per Consumer Reports, experts say that the leaking chicken fluid on its own could become a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livenowfox.com\/news\/costco-rotisserie-chicken-bags-safety\">breeding ground for bacteria<\/a> if it leaks onto a surface like a kitchen counter. <\/p>\n<p>There are also concerns about the plastic bag packaging leaking chemicals into the chicken itself. Any kind of heating for extended periods of time can cause some plastic additives to leach into the packaged food, as well as cause the plastic to degrade.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-viewers-weigh-in\">Viewers weigh in<\/h2>\n<p>Some who saw the video were quick to point out that there are many opportunities for bacteria to grow in any hot-prepared food when it is stored improperly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCooling on the counter is allowing bacteria to flourish,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cStraight into the fridge or an ice bath to cool quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Australia\u2026 we have had chicken in a bag since I was a kid and I\u2019m middle aged,\u201d another added. \u201cAlso, you\u2019re supposed to cool quickly\u2026 like straight in the fridge. You are letting it grow bacteria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t cool on the counter take it out of the bag and put in the fridge immediately,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p>Others shared that they had similarly felt ill after eating Costco rotisserie. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo it\u2019s the chicken I got sick the first time I tried it,\u201d one commenter wrote. \u201cNever had it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait I got sick after eating the last Costco chicken I got so I haven\u2019t bought one since,\u201d one user echoed. \u201cI didn\u2019t think of it maybe being bc of the bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHONESTLY iv been wondering y iv gotten sick the past 2 times aswell i thought it was just a coincidence &amp; after watching this im convinced more,\u201d a commenter wrote. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Internet culture is chaotic\u2014but we\u2019ll break it down for you in one daily email.
