Food Recalls Today — November 14, 2026
Two things to check before Thanksgiving week. Costco is pulling one batch of its Kirkland whipped cream because it may have a cleaning chemical in it, and a canned yellow peach sold mostly at Asian grocery stores is being recalled for elevated lead. Both are the kind of thing sitting in a pantry right now, so check the codes before you cook with them.
Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream — cleaning chemical, 12 states. Alamance Foods, the company that makes the whipped cream for Costco, voluntarily recalled one batch of Kirkland Signature Real Heavy Whipped Cream on November 7 after members reported a chemical smell and taste. The recalled cans are 15 ounces, Costco item number 1777000, item code AC50, best if used by April 2, 2027, with a timestamp on the can between 00:35 and 02:45. They were sold at select Costco warehouses between October 11 and October 31 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. The company says no serious adverse effects requiring medical care have been reported, and it has not named the chemical or said how it got into the cans. If you have a matching can, do not use it — return it to Costco for a full refund. Questions go to Alamance Foods at customer.care@alamancefood.com. Note: as of November 13 the FDA had not posted its own notice for this recall — Costco's own recalls page lists it.
Sempio Yellow Peach — elevated lead, 11 states (catch-up). Sempio Food Services is recalling 150 cases of Sempio Yellow Peach, 14.10-ounce cans, Product of Korea, because of an elevated level of lead in the canned peaches. The lot code is 2026 06 01 (10:09) and the UPC is 8801005320825. The recall, number H-0102-2027, was initiated September 24 and classified Class II by the FDA on October 19, with the FDA report dated October 28 — it was missed in earlier runs, so it is included here as a catch-up. The peaches were primarily distributed to Asian grocery stores in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, New Jersey, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Illinois, and Virginia. If you have a can with that lot code, do not eat it — return it for a refund or throw it out.
