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).

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.
