Costco Kirkland Whipped Cream Recall: How to Check Your Can (Nov. 13, 2026)

Verified and updated: November 13, 2026, 5:04 p.m. UTC (12:04 p.m. Eastern).

Costco’s recall page currently lists a notice for Kirkland Signature Heavy Whipped Cream, item 1777000. The linked Nov. 7 manufacturer letter says one batch of 15-ounce cans may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical. Check the product name, size, item number, item code, best-by date and printed time on the can; the notice applies only when the identifiers match. Costco says customers with the affected product should stop using it and return it to a local Costco for a full refund. Costco’s recall notice and the manufacturer’s member letter are the primary references.

Destaques

• Recall: Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream, 15 oz (425 g), Costco item 1777000, item code AC50.
• Match both the APR/02/27 best-if-used-by date and a can timestamp from 00:35 through 02:45.
• The notice covers product sold Oct. 11–31 in 12 listed states; it does not identify all Kirkland whipped cream as affected.
• Stop using a matching can and return it to Costco for a full refund; questions can go to Alamance Foods.

Which Costco whipped cream is included in the recall?

The notice identifies Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream in a 15-ounce (425 g) can. Its Costco item number is 1777000 and its item code is AC50; the member letter describes a case pack of 8CT/3PK. The lot is identified by a “Best If Used By” date of APR/02/27, and the affected can timestamps run from 00:35 to 02:45.

Compare the identifiers on the can itself with the notice. Do not rely only on the red-and-white packaging, the product name, a receipt, or a memory of when you shopped. A similar can or the same brand alone does not establish that it belongs to the recalled batch. The identifying time is printed on the can; check the actual container if you still have it.

Where was the recalled product sold?

According to the manufacturer’s letter, the affected product was sold at Costco between Oct. 11 and Oct. 31, 2026, in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin. If your purchase was outside those dates or states, the letter does not list it as part of this recall. If you are uncertain, use Costco’s current recall page and contact Costco or Alamance Foods with the can’s printed details rather than assuming.

What should you do if your can matches?

Stop using the product. Costco’s posted letter asks members to return affected product to a local Costco for a full refund. Keep the can and its identifying marks available when contacting the retailer so staff can compare the details; the notice does not require consumers to identify the chemical or diagnose what may have happened.

The manufacturer reports that members noticed a chemical smell and taste and says no serious adverse effects requiring medical care had been reported in its letter. That statement is a report as of the notice, not a guarantee about any individual’s health. If you consumed the product and feel unwell or have a health concern, contact a healthcare professional. For product questions, the letter lists Alamance Foods at customer.care@alamancefood.com.

How can you check future Costco recall notices?

Start with Costco’s official Recalls & Product Notices page. Search or scan for the full product name and item number, then open the notice and compare its batch-level identifiers with the package. For food recalls, the date code, lot number, size, and other printed marks can matter as much as the brand. Costco may also contact members identified in purchase records; a notice email can help, but it is useful to verify the details against the current official listing.

Recall pages can change as companies post notices or add information. The Costco listing and manufacturer letter reviewed for this article identify one batch and the details above; they do not establish that every can, every Kirkland whipped cream product, or every Costco warehouse is affected. Check the official page again if you are acting later or if the manufacturer or retailer provides an updated notice.
