Who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Raw & Unfiltered (32 fl oz, 3-count)?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Raw & Unfiltered (32 fl oz, 3-count) as of July 5, 2026.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
There is no widely repeated, evidenced answer for who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Costco does not disclose the supplier, and a documented sweep of recall databases, federal court records, customs data, Costco's own pages, and trade press turned up no tier 1-5 source naming a maker. Names that surface in speculation — large private-label vinegar producers such as Mizkan Americas, or apple processors like Tree Top — are not connected to the Kirkland product by any evidence. The label establishes only that the vinegar is made from fresh-pressed organic U.S. apples, raw and unfiltered with the mother, and never from concentrate.
Evidence & sources
Costco does not disclose its suppliers, and no tier 1–5 source names the maker of this product. Below is the documented search — every database and record we checked, and what each one returned.
Recall sweep — openFDA food-enforcement API + CPSC ("Kirkland" + apple cider vinegar) July 5, 2026
No Kirkland Signature apple cider vinegar recall on record; the recall route surfaced no co-packer or bottler for this product.
CourtListener + RECAP federal court records ("Kirkland Signature" "apple cider vinegar") July 5, 2026
0 opinions. No litigation names a supplier of Kirkland apple cider vinegar.
Costco.com PDP manufacturer field (mfName route; costco.com blocks bots, existing Wayback snapshots only) July 5, 2026
No Wayback snapshot exists for the Kirkland organic ACV PDP (item 100348419 and the single-bottle listing; CDX checked, exact and prefix), and costco.com blocks automated fetching, so the mfName manufacturer field is unavailable for this item.
Label / OpenFoodFacts check (barcode 0196633965233 and product listings) July 5, 2026
The label establishes only that the vinegar is made from fresh-pressed organic U.S. apples, raw and unfiltered with the mother, with no added yeast or enzymes and never from concentrate. OpenFoodFacts lists brand Kirkland with no manufacturer, processing place, or plant code, and the ingredient origins are marked "not indicated." No maker is named on the label surfaced in listings.
News / trade-press + speculation sweep (Google/Bing news, food trade press) July 5, 2026
No article or executive statement names the maker of Kirkland Signature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Names that surface in speculation are unconnected to the Kirkland product by any evidence: Mizkan Americas is a large US private-label and food-service vinegar producer (its site advertises private-label and organic vinegars), and Tree Top is a major Pacific-Northwest apple processor/co-op, but no source ties either to this item. (Acetum, the name attached to Kirkland balsamic vinegar, is a separate product and is not linked to the ACV.)
ImportYeti / US customs bills of lading July 5, 2026
Structurally weak here and not resolved to a supplier: raw apple cider vinegar for the US market is produced domestically and Costco masks many shipments via freight forwarders, so import records neither surfaced nor could disprove a domestic co-packer (tier 5 caveat).
