Where to buy

Shoppers mostly report finding it in the Costco refrigerated meat case. Stock is seasonal and varies by warehouse. Grocery delivery apps tied to Costco may list it.

Professional insight

Butchers judge packaged schnitzel by the seal, color and use by date.

  • Vacuum seal should hug the meat with no air.
  • Pork should look pale pink, not gray.
  • Check whether breading is included or extra.
  • Plan meals around the use by date.
