Costco Announces Recall of Popular Kirkland Item Sold in 12 States Ahead of Thanksgiving
The recall covers 15-ounce cans with a best-by date of April 2, 2027, after customers reported a chemical smell and taste.
Costco issued a voluntary recall for Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream on Monday, affecting 15-ounce cans sold in 12 states between October 11 and October 31, 2026.
Manufacturer Alamance Foods initiated the recall after receiving customer reports of a "chemical smell and taste," stating the company is acting "out of an abundance of caution."
To identify affected cans, check for item number 1777000, item code AC50, and a best-if-used-by date of April 2, 2027, with timestamps between 00:35 and 02:45 printed on the bottom.
Customers in the 12 states should stop using the product immediately and return it to any local Costco for a full refund; no serious adverse health effects have been reported.
With Thanksgiving approaching, the National Capital Poison Center advises consumers who ingested the product to monitor for symptoms, though the FDA has not yet posted a formal recall notice.
