Whipped cream sold at Costco in 12 states voluntarily recalled
The recalled cans of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream were sold at Costco stores in 12 states, according to manufacturer Alamance Foods, Inc.
As Thanksgiving approaches, millions of Americans prepare to enjoy pumpkin and pecan pies topped with creamy whipped cream. However, Costco's popular Kirkland Signature brand whipped cream is now being recalled due to potential contamination with cleaning chemicals. Costco announced the voluntary recall on November 7, citing concerns from Alamance Foods, Inc., the food company responsible for manufacturing the whipped cream under Costco's Kirkland Signature brand.
The recall involves a specific 15 oz (425 g) package of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream, sold in a case pack of 8 cans (item code AC50) with a lot number of 04/02/2027 (best if used by APR/02/27). The affected canned product was sold in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Consumers who noticed a chemical odor or taste in the recalled whipped cream should not consume it and should return the product to Costco for a full refund. There have been no reports of illness or adverse effects from the recalled product.
