Costco has recalled 15-ounce cans of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream after learning one batch may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical. The recall covers cans sold in 12 states across the Midwest and Southeast between Oct. 11 and Oct. 31.
The timing matters because the product is a holiday staple, and shoppers are looking for it now ahead of Thanksgiving. The affected states are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Alamance Foods said, “We have learned that one batch of Kirkland Signature Whipped Cream may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical.” The company also said, “Members have reported a chemical smell and taste, but no serious adverse effects requiring medical care have been reported.”
The problem appears tied to a specific batch, not all Kirkland Signature whipped cream, but the affected cans carry timestamps from 00:35 to 02:45. That leaves customers with a narrow but important check: if the can matches the recall, it should not be used.
Customers can return the whipped cream to Costco for a full refund. Those with questions or concerns can email Alamance Foods at [email protected].
