What’s recalled
The recall covers one batch of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream in 15 oz (425 g) cans, Costco item 1777000, sold in an 8 count case of 3 packs. The affected lot is marked Best If Used By APR/02/27 with time stamps from 00:35 to 02:45 printed on the can.
Costco says members bought it between Oct. 11 and Oct. 31, 2026, in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
The issue
The member letter from Alamance Foods, the company that makes the product, is dated Nov. 7, 2026, and posted on Costco’s website. It says the batch may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical and doesn’t say which one. Members have reported a chemical smell and taste, and the company says no serious adverse effects requiring medical care have been reported.
We didn’t find an FDA posting for this recall, so the notice from Alamance Foods and Costco is the official word for now.
Our read: check the can before the pie
This is our read. A big can of whipped cream bought in October is exactly the thing that sits in the back of the fridge until Thanksgiving dessert. The timing makes a two minute check worth it now, before it ends up on the pumpkin pie.
Reality check
Only one batch is part of this recall, and the date and time stamp on the can tell you if yours is in it. Cans with a different date or time stamp aren’t included. No serious injuries have been reported, and a full refund is available at any Costco.
The close
Before you shake that can over the pie, flip it over. If the date says APR/02/27, it goes back to Costco.
