Chaokoh Coconut Milk
A popular coconut milk brand called Chaokoh was at the center of controversy in the fall of 2020. It came to light that they used monkey labor for coconut picking. PETA said, “When not being forced to pick coconuts or perform in circus-style shows for tourists, the animals were kept tethered, chained to old tires, or confined to cages barely larger than their bodies. One coconut farmer confirmed that when monkeys are terrified and try to defend themselves, handlers may have their teeth pulled out.” This is the reason Costco stopped selling their products. It released a statement that read, “We have ceased purchasing from our supplier/owner of the brand Chaokoh… We have made it clear to the supplier we do not support the use of monkeys for harvesting and that all harvesting must be done by human labor.”

Calzones
While we are all familiar with Costco pizza pies, they used to sell calzones at the food court as well. They came with dipping sauce and in a number of varieties. In the past, they used to be a hit since people loved getting two for $6.99. Sadly, it was axed from the menu because it was not profitable enough.
