Spice up your life
Look for a new label on your favorite spices

The Kirkland Signature™ line of spices recently received updated packaging, but one thing that hasn’t changed is Costco’s commitment to sourcing quality spices. Here are just a few reasons to visit the spice aisle in Costco warehouses:
- A supplier of Kirkland Signature pepper has partnered with PeaceTrees on a joint venture to clear old land mines and explosives from the area located near the Laotian border, allowing local growers to safely farm.
- Once the bark is harvested from a cinnamon tree in Vietnam to make Kirkland Signature Saigon Cinnamon, the remaining parts of the tree are sold by the farmers for furniture building, paper production, essential oil extraction, and medicinal and herbal remedies.
- Two California garlic growers who produce Kirkland Signature Granulated Garlic also help manage the second-largest wetland west of the Mississippi, providing habitats for waterfowl and other migratory birds.
