The common claim vs. the evidence

The common claim

What most answers say — and what the evidence supports

Top-ranking answers name Ocean Spray as the maker of Kirkland Signature cranberry juice, and here the popular answer is correct because the product is an explicit co-brand: it is sold as 'Kirkland Signature Ocean Spray Cranberry Premium 100% Juice,' Ocean Spray's name and logo appear on the label beneath Kirkland's branding, and Ocean Spray lists the item on its own website as an exclusive Kirkland Signature product. It is a blend of cranberry, apple, and grape juice (100% juice, no added sugar), not single-strength cranberry.

Retail listing for the co-branded product, sold as "Kirkland Signature Ocean Spray Cranberry Premium Juice" - the Ocean Spray co-brand is part of the product's own on-pack name. Ocean Spray additionally hosts this exact item on its corporate site (oceanspray.com) as "our exclusive Kirkland Signature Ocean Spray" 100% juice; that live page was confirmed but archives as a JavaScript shell, so the on-pack co-brand is cited here via the archived retail listing and corroborated by Tasting Table below.

Frequently asked

Who makes Kirkland Signature cranberry juice for Costco?
Ocean Spray. Kirkland Signature cranberry juice is an on-label co-brand - sold as 'Kirkland Signature Ocean Spray Cranberry Premium 100% Juice,' with Ocean Spray's name and logo printed on the label beneath Kirkland's, and listed on Ocean Spray's own website as an exclusive Kirkland Signature product. Ocean Spray Cranberries, the grower-owned cooperative that dominates US cranberry supply, is the manufacturer.
Is Kirkland cranberry juice 100% juice or a cocktail?
It is labeled 100% juice - a blend of cranberry, apple, and grape juice from concentrate, with no added sugar and a full day's vitamin C. That makes it different from Ocean Spray's sweetened 'Cranberry Juice Cocktail'; the Kirkland co-brand corresponds to Ocean Spray's 100% Juice Cranberry line.
Is Kirkland cranberry juice the same as Ocean Spray?
For this product, effectively yes: it is co-branded with Ocean Spray and made by Ocean Spray, so the Kirkland version is Ocean Spray's 100% cranberry blend in Costco's packaging and pricing. The standalone Ocean Spray-branded 100% juice is the closest name-brand equivalent.
