Who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Salsa, Medium, 38 oz (2-count)?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Organic Salsa, Medium, 38 oz (2-count) as of July 6, 2026.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
No widely evidenced answer exists for who makes Kirkland Signature Organic Salsa. The one name that circulates — Mission Foods — is explicit speculation: content mills reason that because Mission Foods long supplied Kirkland tortilla chips, it might also make the salsa, while conceding this 'does not definitively answer' the question. Costco discloses only that the salsa is organic and made in the USA, and a documented sweep of recall databases, court records, Costco's own pages, and trade press turned up no source naming the co-packer.
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.
FDA / CPSC recall sweep (openFDA food-enforcement; "kirkland" + salsa) July 6, 2026
No Kirkland Signature salsa recall on record; openFDA returns no matching enforcement records. The recall route names no co-packer.
CourtListener + RECAP (query: "Kirkland Signature" salsa) July 6, 2026

Costco.com PDP 'mfName' route (via Wayback Machine; costco.com blocks automated fetch) July 6, 2026
The archived legacy PDP (kirkland-signature,-organic-salsa,-medium,-38-oz,-2-count.product.100765773.html, snapshot 2024-04-10) embeds no manufacturer value, and the newer /p/-/ page (item 100765773) has no Wayback snapshot carrying an mfName. Capturing the live PDP's mfName is a browser follow-up for Ian.
Label / review-photo check (Costcuisine and other photographed-label reviews) July 6, 2026
The product is labeled USDA Organic and made in the USA; photographed-label reviews quote no co-packer, 'distributed by,' or manufacturer beyond the Costco private label.
News / trade-press / executive-statement sweep July 6, 2026
No article or executive statement names the salsa's maker.
Community / listicle scan July 6, 2026
The recurring guess is Mission Foods, but it is explicitly inferential: content-mill articles reason that because Mission Foods long supplied Kirkland tortilla chips (its logo once appeared on the bag), it 'might' also make the salsa, while conceding this 'does not definitively answer' the question. No source documents a Mission Foods link to the salsa.
