Who Really Makes It

Same maker, different store brands

Updated Oct 31, 2026 · every claim links to its source

Some companies make food for more than one store. FDA recall records show it: the same firm recalls a Kirkland Signature product one year and a Great Value or Trader Joe's product another. Below are the 5 companies on this site that appear on records for more than one store's label.

This shows the same company made both products at the time of each record. It does not show the recipes or plants are the same, and records years apart may involve different plants.
