Please let Costco know that it is time to stop sampling nuts and nut products at their stores! With nut allergies running rampant, it is important for people to be safe while shopping at Costco. With Costco frequently sampling nuts and products containing nuts at their stores, accidental ingestion and cross-contamination is a huge concern for the nut allergic population. In 2010, is was reported that 1 in 13 Canadians have a severe food allergy - the leader in that being peanut and tree nut allergies. Also in 2010, it was found that 8% of children under age 18 in the United States suffered from a severe food allergy. These numbers are quickly rising across North America at an alarming rate. Please help raise awareness about this important cause and let Costco know that you want them to stop sampling nuts by signing this petition.

Costco ignores our emails while they continue to put lives at risk with these irresponsible sampling stations. I am tired of watching them prioritize profit over the basic safety of allergic children and families.

Costco ignores families at their own peril but this wave of support proves they cannot sweep our safety under the rug forever. The momentum behind our fight is undeniable and we are finally forcing them to face the consequences of their reckless sampling policies.

Finally someone said it. I have to hover over my daughter every single time we walk past the snack stations. So stressful.

Cross contamination is real. Costco needs to wake up and start thinking about their customers health instead of just sales.
