Costco recalled Kirkland Signature Heavy Whipped Cream sold in 12 states after the producer warned it may contain a small amount of cleaning chemical.
Costco is recalling cans of its store-brand heavy whipped cream just before Thanksgiving, when many Americans are expected to use the holiday staple to top off their pumpkin pie.
A voluntary recall has been issued for certain cans of Kirkland Signature Real Whipped Cream because they may contain a small amount of a cleaning chemical, Alamance Foods, which produces the whipped cream, said in a notice sent to Costco members.
Alamance Foods said it initiated the recall “out of an abundance of caution.”
