Why did Costco stop serving kosher hot dogs?

Costco's hot dogs are not certified kosher. While the company has a strict policy of sourcing high-quality ingredients, including beef that is hormone-free and humanely raised, the hot dogs themselves are not prepared according to Jewish dietary laws.

It's possible you may have heard this rumor or confused Costco's hot dogs with another food item. However, Costco's hot dogs remain a popular and affordable food item, and there is no indication they have ever been kosher.
