The other day someone posted a comment looking for some nutritional (specifically, calories) information for a couple of the Costco food court items. Since I didn’t have the information, I asked our friends at the Costco online Customer Service team if they had any information they could send me. They totally came through with a very helpful PDF that lists the complete nutritional and allergen information for 26 items that are served in their food court area.
The nutritional data sheet was last updated almost a year ago now, July 2008. And of course, your food court most likely doesn’t have all 26 items on this list. For instance, I know that my Austin Costco does not have french fries (thankfully). And where do they have Italian Sausage Sandwiches? In any case, this PDF has lots and lots of helpful information if you’re trying to watch your calories or just like to know what you’re eating, nutritionally speaking. Like, who knew that the hot dog or Polish sausage had somewhere between 540 – 570 calories? No wonder they can fill you up like a meal, huh? If you’re looking for low calorie, the Fruit Smoothie with just 290 calories, really is the best bet.

Thanks for the Costco nutritional table providing data on calories, fat content, etc. However, what I’d like to know is what are the ingredients of the items, such as a berry smoothie (just about the only thing a vegan can eat at the food court). Specifically, do they add a sweetener to the berry smoothie like high fructose corn syrup? I think I can guess the answer, which would be “yes”.

The food values of all the food sold at the Costco food court has to be published on site and this is mandated by federal law they can not refer you to a web site unless you have an iPhone and at the referral site the value have to be listed on the first page not one or more pages later.

FOR SAMANTHA above. Who cares how many calories are in a serving? Again, TIME it, and ENJOY it. don’t sweat the small stuff and watch your carb timing. Do 10 minutes of activity before it , or go for a brisk walk after it
So many options so you can make it happen!

ok…if you like “bland” but why would one give up dressing if you could time it properly and still loose weight: ) Hell add an ice cream to it too. (and still loose weight)
I eat caesar salad daily, with almonds, cheese and eggs in it : )
And yes, creamy caesar dressing NOT low fat : )
That is “winning” ! Blessings all

Chicken Caeser without the dressing FTW! Slightly bland, but healthy and filling. Plenty of protein and very few calories. I eat for lunch at least 2 times a week. $3.99 = Winning!

I can’t believe some of you are griping about the calories in ice cream treats. Really? It’s not food, it’s fat. No wonder you all look like a parady of the ‘average citizen’ drawn up 20 years ago.
I’d keep being snide and making examples of how ridiculous you are but I’m sure you’ve stopped reading and headed off to the kitchen for a ‘healthy’ yogurt bar with low-fat sprinkles.

I forgot to add … Costco confirmed over the phone that this info is not available on their website – which seems a shame, since it’d be nice to know you could get the latest info from them without having to call and ask for it. Oh well.

For anyone interested, Costco updates this information every once in awhile, so it’s always good to double-check the latest numbers. Here’s a copy of the Costco Food Court Nutritional Data from December 21, 2011.
http://bit.ly/CostcoNutrition201112 (PDF)
It’s basically the same file/format as before, but with updated items. I haven’t compared any of the numbers to the original file posted by Kimberly, but since that was from 2008, I assume there are at least some new items included.

To Mary // 2009.06.02 at 5:55 pm “I loved those Mocha Freezes but I just realized that if I get a Latte Freeze I’ll get less calories! Anyone know what the difference is?” It’s the chocolate fudge sauce! I was also surprised to see that it has so many calories.
