Who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus (2.5 oz cups, 20-count; 32 oz tubs)?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus (2.5 oz cups, 20-count; 32 oz tubs) as of July 5, 2026.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
There is no widely repeated answer for who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus; unlike some Kirkland items, no co-brand, Costco listing, or recall notice names its maker. The one adjacent data point is a different product: the Kirkland Signature Pine Nut Hummus recalled for mold in October 2022 was signed by Cedar's Mediterranean Foods of Ward Hill, Massachusetts - but that recall covers the pine nut variety, not the organic hummus, and does not establish who produces the organic tubs and cups.
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 / FSIS / CPSC / Costco member recalls) for Kirkland hummus July 5, 2026
Two Kirkland hummus recalls surfaced, but neither pins the organic hummus to a named maker. (1) June 2023: Costco pulled Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus after routine testing found Bacillus cereus, affecting more than 1.8 million pounds (32 oz tubs); it was handled as a Costco member recall reaching purchasers directly, with no public FDA firm-attributed notice naming the co-packer (everafterinthewoods recap archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20251010060425/https://everafterinthewoods.com/shocking-hummus-recalls-that-affected-millions/). (2) October 2022: Costco recalled Kirkland Signature Pine Nut Hummus for mold on the pine-nut topping via a member letter (Food Safety News archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20251210144058/https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2022/10/costco-recalls-hummus-because-of-mold-issues/); that notice "is signed by Cedar's Mediterranean Foods, which operates out of Ward Hill, Massachusetts" (Tasting Table archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20251217025554/https://www.tastingtable.com/1066708/what-hummus-fans-should-know-about-costcos-recent-recall/). Cedar's ties to the pine nut SKU only - not the organic hummus.
Costco.com PDP manufacturer field (mfName route; costco.com blocks bots, Wayback only) July 5, 2026
The Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus 2.5 oz 20-count PDP (item 100638499), captured in Wayback (snapshot 2026-03-22), embeds no manufacturer value - the only 'manufacturer' strings in the page are UI template text, not a supplier name. The mfName route yielded nothing for this product.
Product label / packaging review scan (Costcuisine, Costco Couple) July 5, 2026
Photographed-label reviews of the organic hummus (e.g., Costcuisine, item 1280819) describe the product as USDA Organic and 'made in the USA' but quote no manufacturer, co-packer, or 'distributed by' entity beyond the Costco private label. The label does not name the maker.
News / executive-statement / trade-press sweep (Google/Bing news; food trade press) July 5, 2026
No article or executive statement names the maker of Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus. Coverage centers on the June 2023 recall's scale and Costco's member-notification system, not the co-packer's identity.
ImportYeti / US customs bills of lading July 5, 2026
Structurally weak route here and not resolved to a supplier: refrigerated hummus 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).
Community / listicle scan (Reddit r/Costco, content-mill listicles) July 5, 2026
No consistent maker is asserted for the organic hummus; unlike many Kirkland items, listicles do not converge on a named supplier. The only firm attached to any Kirkland hummus in these sources is Cedar's Mediterranean Foods, and only for the separate Pine Nut variety.
