Alamance Foods is voluntarily recalling one batch of 15-ounce cans of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream sold at Costco in 12 states. Per a report from WBTV and CNN, the whipped cream may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical. The recall comes just ahead of Thanksgiving.
What's Being Recalled?
The recalled product is Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream in 15-ounce cans, sold at Costco from Oct. 11 to Oct. 31, 2026. It was sold in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The affected products and identifiers are:

Why Was This Product Recalled?
Alamance Foods says one batch may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical. The company described the recall as voluntary and issued out of an abundance of caution. Costco members reported a chemical smell and taste. Alamance Foods says no serious adverse effects requiring medical care have been reported. EMS could not find an FDA notice for this recall, and no recall class has been stated. The information here comes from Costco's member notice and the manufacturer's statements as reported by news outlets.
What Should You Do?
Check any can of Kirkland Signature whipped cream you bought in October for the best-by date of APR/02/27 and the timestamp range above. If it matches, stop using it. Reports say you can return it to Costco for a full refund. Alamance Foods is also notifying Costco members by letter if records show they, or an add-on member, bought it. Questions can be sent to Alamance Foods at customer.care@alamancefood.com. If you have health concerns after using the product, contact a health care provider.
