The common claim vs. the evidence

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.

The honest part

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.

Frequently asked

Who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus for Costco?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer. Costco does not disclose the supplier, the product's Costco listing embeds no manufacturer field, and no recall notice names a co-packer for the organic hummus. A different Kirkland hummus - the Pine Nut variety - was recalled for mold in October 2022, and that notice was signed by Cedar's Mediterranean Foods, but that covers a different product and does not establish who makes the organic tubs and cups.
Was Kirkland hummus recalled?
Yes, twice in recent years, though neither recall pinned the organic hummus to a named maker. In June 2023 Costco pulled Kirkland Signature Organic Hummus after routine testing found Bacillus cereus, affecting more than 1.8 million pounds; that action reached members directly and did not publicly name a co-packer. Separately, in October 2022 Costco recalled Kirkland Signature Pine Nut Hummus over mold on the pine-nut topping, a recall signed by Cedar's Mediterranean Foods of Ward Hill, Massachusetts.
