Costco has reportedly rolled out a new batch of food items, continuing its strategy of regularly refreshing its offerings.
The retail giant, which typically introduces new products on a monthly basis, has added a mix of sweet and savory items, ranging from baked goods and desserts to ready-to-eat meals, according to Food & Wine.
New items spotted in stores reportedly include Filled Heart Madeleines; Matcha & Chocolate Sandwich Cookies; Turkey, Pesto, & Swiss Cheese Pockets; Meatball Panino Italian-style rolls; Chinese BBQ-Style Beef Short Ribs; kimchi pancakes and a Valentine’s Day–themed version of the Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake.
