Kirkland Pet Food

PetfulDecember 4, 2023

⚠ Important recall information appears below.

Kirkland pet food is manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods Inc. for Costco, a warehouse club superstore — you must be a member to make purchases. Costco works hard to ensure the best possible prices for its customers, making the Kirkland Signature brand a decent food at a reasonable price.

Has Kirkland Ever Been Recalled?

Yes, it has been recalled twice in recent years. In 2012, Diamond Pet Foods Inc., the manufacturer of Kirkland, issued a voluntary recall because of potential salmonella contamination. Kirkland was also affected by the massive 2007 recall that involved possible contamination with melamine.
