Who makes Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins, 3.4 lb (54 oz)?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins, 3.4 lb (54 oz) as of July 6, 2026.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
Popular answers point to Blommer Chocolate Company, citing Costco's 2013 Costco Connection cocoa feature. That feature supports a narrower fact: Costco's own magazine identifies U.S.-based Blommer as the source of the chocolate for its Kirkland Signature chocolate program, then says Costco ships that chocolate to separate candy suppliers who blend in inclusions such as fruit and nuts and mold the finished pieces - so the company that actually coats and packages the finished chocolate-covered raisins is not publicly named. No on-package co-brand, recall notice, or Costco product listing identifies that finished-goods maker.
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 (FDA openFDA food-enforcement API; CPSC SaferProducts.gov REST API) for Kirkland + chocolate raisins July 6, 2026
No recall on file for Kirkland Signature chocolate-covered raisins (openFDA 'kirkland' AND 'raisins' returns NOT_FOUND; CPSC empty). Generic chocolate-covered-raisin recalls exist for other brands - The Warrell Corporation, First Source LLC, Lindt & Sprungli USA, Supervalu, and The Kroger Co - but none involves the Kirkland product or names its co-packer. The recall route surfaced no finished-goods maker.
Costco.com PDP manufacturer field (mfName route; costco.com blocks bots, Wayback only) July 6, 2026
No existing Wayback snapshot for the Kirkland Signature milk chocolate raisins PDP (item 100333883, costco.com /p/ and legacy .product URL forms) or for the Costco Business Delivery listing (item 10193524, 54 oz) - all CDX queries returned zero 200-status captures. Because costco.com blocks automated fetch, a fresh snapshot cannot be created here; capturing the live PDP's mfName is a browser follow-up for Ian. The mfName route did not resolve the finished-goods maker.
Costco's own publication - The Costco Connection, October 2013 cocoa feature ('Chocolate designed the Costco way'), via Wayback; corroborated by Daily Meal (2023-08-03) July 6, 2026
Costco's own magazine names the chocolate supplier but not the finished-goods maker: Costco began working with "their Kirkland Signature chocolate supplier, U.S.-based Blommer Chocolate Company," which "roast[s] the beans and convert[s] them into chocolate," after which "the chocolate is then shipped to Costco's candy suppliers, who blend in various ingredients called inclusions, such as nuts, fruit or unique flavorings, and mold the mixtures." So Blommer supplies the chocolate; a separate, unnamed candy supplier coats the raisins and packages the finished piece. Daily Meal (2023) echoes that Blommer's chocolate goes into Kirkland's "chips, dipped fruit, and nuts" without naming the candy maker.

On-package co-brand / label review (Costcuisine review of the milk chocolate raisins) July 6, 2026
The package carries no co-brand mark; Blommer is a chocolate ingredient supplier that does not place its name on consumer packaging, and the photographed-label review names no manufacturer, co-packer, or 'distributed by' entity beyond the Costco private label. The label identifies no finished-goods maker.
Community / listicle scan (Chowhound milk-chocolate-raisins feature 2025-08-15; content-mill roundups) July 6, 2026
Chowhound's dedicated piece on the Kirkland milk chocolate raisins names no manufacturer (archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20260512153509/https://www.chowhound.com/1934691/costco-snack-kirkland-milk-chocolate-raisins/). Other listicles repeat the Blommer claim, collapsing Blommer's documented chocolate-supply role into finished-goods manufacturing; none names the candy supplier that coats and packages the finished raisins. No consistent finished-goods maker emerges.
ImportYeti / US customs bills of lading July 6, 2026
No Costco chocolate-raisin supplier signal surfaced. Route is structurally weak here regardless: confectionery for the US market is largely produced domestically and Costco masks many shipments via freight forwarders, so absence of import records proves nothing (tier 5 caveat).
