Atlanta — check your fridge BEFORE Thanksgiving. Costco is recalling its Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream because one batch may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical.
Alamance Foods, the North Carolina company that makes the whipped cream for Costco, announced the voluntary recall on November 7 after members reported a chemical smell and taste. The company says no serious adverse effects requiring medical care have been reported, and the recall is being done out of an abundance of caution.

- Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream, 15 oz (425 g) cans, sold in 3-packs

HOW TO CHECK YOUR CAN:
Flip the can over and look at the date code printed on it. If your can says Best If Used By APR/02/27 AND the timestamp falls between 00:35 and 02:45, it is part of the recall.
