Nov 11, 2024, 05:34 PM

Costco has issued a recall for nearly 80,000 pounds of Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter due to a labeling oversight. The FDA mandated recall affects 79,200 pounds of both salted and unsalted varieties of the butter. The packages list cream as an ingredient but fail to include the legally required 'contains milk' allergen statement. The recall aims to ensure consumer safety, as undeclared allergens can pose serious health risks to individuals with allergies. Consumers are advised to return or safely dispose of the affected butter.
