Cheese in California at a glance
18 of the 87 USDA organic certified co-packers we list for cheese are in California. Facilities in Compton, Commerce, Gardena and Fresno and more.
Of these, 3 list Kosher, 2 list Halal, 1 lists SQF, and 1 lists Non-GMO. Organic certification is checked against the USDA record. Other certifications are what each facility lists on its own website.
7 of the 18 have been reviewed in more detail from their own websites. For the rest, the product comes from the USDA certificate, which shows what a facility is certified to handle, not whether it has room for a new brand.
Other states with the most: Wisconsin (16), Illinois (11), Ohio (5), and Pennsylvania (5).
How to choose
- Start with fit: they already run your kind of product, in your format and package.
- Open the USDA certificate link on the listing (or look the facility up in the USDA Organic INTEGRITY Database where no link is shown) and confirm the operation is certified and lists products like yours.
- Ask for minimum order, lead time, and whether they source ingredients or you do.
- If you need Kosher, SQF, or another certification, ask for the current certificate, not just a logo on a website.
