Tuna: Bumble Bee Tuna
The chances of you singing the Bumble Bee Tuna jingle as you read this are very high, I know that. This means that you already know the company that’s behind the delicious tuna at Costco. According to EVP Tim Rose, Bumble Bee’s canned albacore is the great life force behind Kirkland Signature’s tuna, so you can carry on singing that jingle.
Bacon: Hormel Foods
There are many good things that are happening with Costco’s pre-cooked bacon, and it’s more than it meets the price. Produced by Hormel Foods, the bacon at Costco is probably the tastiest out there, but it’s also produced in the most humane way possible.
As Supermarket News showed, when Costco couldn’t manage to find precooked bacon of the proper quality, it asked its current bacon supplier, Hormel, to simply make one. That’s why it’s co-branded.
