Costco removes Palmetto Cheese over owner’s Black Lives Matter comment

Retailer Costco is pulling a popular cheese sold at more than 100 of its stores after the company’s owner called the Black Lives Matter movement a “terror organization.” “Costco rotates items in and out during the course of the year. They will occasionally add and drop products as a matter of normal business,” owner Brian Henry said. “We remain optimistic that Palmetto Cheese will be back on the shelves in the not too distant future.”
