Costco Recalls Heavy Whipped Cream Over Chemical Smell

1 min read

Costco has initiated a voluntary recall of a batch of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream after reports of a chemical smell and taste. The product, sold under the Kirkland brand, is being recalled due to potential contamination with a cleaning chemical, according to a statement from producer Alamance Foods.

The recall was announced on November 7 and applies to cans purchased between October 11 and October 31, 2026. The affected cans have timestamps ranging from 00:35 to 02:45. Consumers who have the product are urged to stop using it immediately and return it to their local Costco for a full refund.

The issue was first reported by members who noticed an unusual chemical smell and taste, although no serious adverse effects requiring medical care have been reported. The recall covers multiple states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

While the recall has raised concerns about food safety, it has not disrupted the traditional Thanksgiving dessert scene. DoorDash’s analysis of Thanksgiving orders from 2025 revealed that chocolate cake was the most popular dessert. However, pumpkin pie emerged as the most over-indexed pie or cake, with higher sales in 14 states including Arizona, California, and Washington.

Despite the recall, the holiday season remains a time of celebration for many families. As people prepare their Thanksgiving meals, some are turning to homemade recipes to ensure their desserts are safe and delicious. One such recipe requires just three ingredients and can be easily prepared at home.
