The common claim vs. the evidence

The common claim

What most answers say — and what the evidence supports

Top-ranking answers name Townsend Farms, and this is one of the best-evidenced attributions in the catalog: the 2019 FDA recall notices state outright that 'Townsend Farms, Inc. used the domestic conventional frozen blackberry to manufacture the Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend,' carry Townsend's Costco vendor code (#63720) on the 4 lb bag, and 2025 food-press reporting confirms Townsend still produces and packages the blend. The recall was a Hepatitis A precaution over the blackberries Townsend used; no product tested positive and no illnesses were reported, and the supplier did not change afterward.

Recall notice that directly names the brand-manufacturer link: 'Townsend Farms, Inc. used the domestic conventional frozen blackberry to manufacture the Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend product with Best By Dates between February 16, 2020, and May 4, 2020.' The recall (over possible Hepatitis A in the blackberries Townsend used) covered the 4 lb bag sold in San Diego and Los Angeles, California and Hawaii; no product tested positive and no illnesses were reported. Establishes Townsend Farms as the manufacturer of the Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend.

Tier 6 Tasting Table The Company Behind Costco's Kirkland Signature Frozen Berry Blend Published · accessed July 5, 2026
Recency corroboration that the relationship is current (batteries pattern): 'The pink and white bag, though sold under the Kirkland Signature name, is produced and packaged by Townsend Farms, a family-owned wholesaler based out of the Pacific Northwest,' and Costco 'also sells Townsend Farms' Organic Berry Supreme frozen fruit mix under the actual Townsend Farms brand.' Shows Townsend remains the maker post-recall; adds no independent primary evidence.

Frequently asked

Who makes Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend?
It is manufactured by Townsend Farms, Inc., a family-owned Oregon fruit grower and processor. The 2019 FDA recall notices state that 'Townsend Farms, Inc. used the domestic conventional frozen blackberry to manufacture the Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend,' and the 4 lb bag carries Townsend's Costco vendor code #63720. Food-press reporting in 2025 confirms Townsend still produces and packages the blend.
Was Kirkland Three Berry Blend recalled for hepatitis A?
Yes, in June 2019. Townsend Farms recalled the 4 lb Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend (Best By dates February 16, 2020 to May 4, 2020) as a precaution after an FDA test indicated a domestic frozen blackberry used in it could be contaminated with Hepatitis A, per the FDA recall notices. The blend was sold in California, Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada; no product tested positive and no illnesses were reported. The FDA later terminated the recall.
Is Kirkland Three Berry Blend the same as Townsend Farms' own berry blend?
Same maker, slightly different product. Townsend Farms makes both the 4 lb conventional Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries) and its own retail Townsend Farms Organic Berry Supreme, per Tasting Table. The Townsend-branded bag is organic and a different size (3 lb), so the two are not identical even though one company packs both.
Did the supplier of Kirkland Three Berry Blend change after the 2019 recall?
No public source documents a change. Townsend Farms was named as the manufacturer in the 2019 recall and is still reported as the producer and packer as of 2025, with the two companies described as partners of more than a decade. The recall was a precaution over one blackberry lot, not a supplier switch.
