The "Behind The Label" Source List :

*Food Safety: USDA inspection data and Farm Forward investigative reports confirm that Costco’s Nebraska poultry plant received the lowest possible "Category 3" Salmonella safety rating.
*The Social Contract: Public corporate history documents the $1.50 hot dog price mandate established by co-founder Jim Sinegal to maintain middle-class loyalty despite significant financial losses.
*Biometric Surveillance: Corporate policy updates for 2025–2026 confirm the rollout of digital entrance scanners that utilize real-time photo verification and data tracking for all members.
*Legal Access: Federal and state statutes (specifically in CA, NY, and TX) mandate that warehouse clubs cannot legally restrict non-member access to pharmacies or alcohol sales.
*Label Integrity: FDA Code 21 CFR 135 outlines the legal milkfat requirements that force "Quality Shrinkflation" products to be rebranded as "Frozen Dairy Dessert" instead of Ice Cream.
