Costco has no requirements page on costco.com. Its requirements are in Costco’s Global Food Safety Audit Expectations (version 3.0, effective September 1, 2025), with a Costco Addendum.
Azzule, Costco’s audit platform, hosts the documents, including in Spanish. Confirm the current version with your Costco buyer or a Costco-approved audit company.
