Costco’s Kirkland tequila at center of class action suit
OregonLive ^ | Nov. 17, 2025 | Tribune News Service

Posted on 11/17/2025 7:08:17 PM PST by Rio

Some Kirkland tequila brands that claim to contain only alcohol distilled from the blue agave plant actually include other, lesser-quality alcohols, according to a suit filed Friday on behalf of 13 aggrieved tequila drinkers in Washington and eight other states.

Tests found that some of the Kirkland-brand tequilas were so adulterated they didn’t even qualify as tequila under Mexican law, according to the suit, which was filed in federal court in Seattle.

For a little while, back in year 2022, several American supermarkets began removing all bottles French Dressing from their shelves, never to be sold. Why? The FDA revoked a Standard Of Identity definition for French Dressing, ending a rule that had been in place since 1950.

An industry group petitioned for the change, saying the former way was outdated.

Result; Current manufacturers are no longer legally required to follow the old rules on what qualifies as French Dressing. Many new varieties are now widely available for sale without the “crippling fear” of the merchant being sued for improper labeling.
Yay!

Is there one that you could recommend, that's not expensive?
Like a good, mid-tier Scotch.
Or Bourbon...
I always appreciate a good rec.

I believe it. All I need to see is the label “Kirkland” on any product and I run the other way.

Roquefort cheese comes to mind. They have to be aged in the natural Combalou caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon France to be labeled Roquefort.

I love the stuff!

I don’t want any-shelf tequila. I was permanently conditioned against the stuff about 50 years ago, by two bottles of Hood River Distillery’s cheapest. I was lucky to survive, though it certainly didn’t feel like it the next day.

To this day, the smell of tequila turns my stomach.
