Costco Sells Out Of Emergency Food Kits Online Amidst Coronavirus Outbreak by Chris Menahan for Activist Post
Costco Wholesale, which is one of America’s biggest suppliers of long-term storable food, sold out of all their “emergency food kits” on their website after the CDC warned that Americans should be prepared in case the coronavirus becomes a pandemic.
Visitors to the “Emergency [Food] Kits & Supplies” section of their website are currently greeted with a message saying,“We’re sorry, no products were found.”

When I visited their site on Tuesday, only two products were listed, one of which was a large bin of macaroni and cheese.The site gave an error when I tried to open the page and said it was sold out.On Wednesday, the page was down altogether.
A Twitter user shared a screenshot of their page on Monday highlighting how they sold out of their $4,999 pallets:
Costco has sold out of the $4999 pallet with 1 year’s worth of food (2800 servings!), but the 23 lb mac-and-cheese bucket with up to 20-year shelf life is still available.https://t.co/N28YCvGciLpic.twitter.com/QXdZMkhe9c
I visited a local Costco warehouse to stock up on Wednesday morning and didn’t see any emergency food kits, though there was plenty of 12-25 lbs bags of rice.
Only one rice variety out of 5 or so was low on stock.The shelves were mostly full.I only saw one older Asian woman wearing a face mask (they’re sold out everywhere).
