Im a food expert - two food products to never buy at Costco and what to get instead

A FOOD expert posted a TikTok sharing two items to never buy at Costco, and what to grab instead.

Kyle Fitzgerald is a nutrition nut who educates his over 748,000 TikTok followers on healthy buys at grocery stores.

Kyle, who goes by cleankitchennutrition on TikTok, has tons of videos explaining why certain products are worth the purchase while others aren't.

In a recent video, Kyle took to the platform and shared which four items at Costco are worth the money and the two that aren't.

First up are the ones to skip.

1. Acai

The TikToker said that the Sambazon Acai juice is definitely not worth the buy.

This one may hurt lovers of this cheap chicken.

The reason to skip this product - the ingredients.

Costco uses conventionally raised chicken which typically has less vitamin E and not as much omega-3 fatty acids.

Plus, it contains carrageenan which Kyle said has been shown to cause inflammation in the gut.

Next up are the four items to purchase instead.

Just note that prices may vary based on store and location.

Salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense fish and is priced just right at Costco for $12.99.

This cheese is grass-fed and has a better nutritional value than other cheeses.

It’s priced at just $5.99 per pound, making it affordable and delicious.

The TikToker said that the Clovis Farms Organic Super Smoothie is the perfect buy for summer.

It comes with six individual packages of fruits and vegetables.

Kyle said that the Kirkland brand organic hummus is one of the better buys.

One box comes with 20 individual cups for convenient, on-the-go use.

He liked this brand because it’s made with organic sunflower oil, so it’s not chemically extracted.
