Spread the word: FDA recalls almost 80K pounds of Costco butter

A significant recall of Kirkland Signature butter sold at Costco stores has been initiated due to an undeclared milk allergen.

The recall, impacting nearly 80,000 pounds of butter, underscores the importance of accurate food labeling for consumer safety, particularly for those with allergies.

The recall: 79,200 pounds of butter affected

Announced by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), the recall targets approximately 79,200 pounds of butter, packaged in 1,300 cases.

The affected products are Kirkland Signature Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter (46,800 pounds) and Kirkland Signature Salted Sweet Cream Butter (32,400 pounds).

The recall was initiated on October 11th by a wholesaler in Littlefield, Texas, after it was discovered that the packaging lacked the required ‘Contains Milk’ statement.

Class II recall: potential health risks for those with milk allergies

On November 7th, the FDA designated the recall as Class II.

This classification signifies that consuming or being exposed to the recalled butter “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”

While the FDA records indicate distribution throughout Texas, the specific areas affected remain undisclosed.

It is also unknown whether any consumers have experienced allergic reactions.

Costco has not yet issued a statement regarding the matter.

Consumer guidance: how to handle recalled butter

While the FDA hasn’t issued specific instructions regarding the recalled butter, FoodSafety.gov advises consumers to either return the product to the store of purchase for a refund or to discard it appropriately to prevent consumption by people or animals

Social media reaction

The recall has sparked discussion on social media, with many users questioning the need for such a measure given the obvious presence of milk in butter.

Costco just recalled 80,000 pounds of butter because they neglected to label it with ‘may contain milk.’

As someone with serious dietary restrictions I am sympathetic to this issue but I have to say…this is pretty ridiculous. We all know butter contains milk.

However, the missing allergen label poses a significant risk to individuals with milk allergies who rely on accurate labeling information to make informed food choices.

The recall highlights the critical role of proper labeling in ensuring consumer safety and preventing potential health risks.

Despite the seemingly obvious nature of butter containing milk, the missing label could have serious consequences for those with allergies.

The FDA’s Class II categorization underscores the potential for adverse health reactions.

This incident serves as a reminder to consumers to always check food labels carefully, even for familiar products.
