The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for nearly 80,000 pounds of Kirkland Signature Sweet Cream Butter, produced in Texas for Costco, due to an allergen labeling issue.
The recall, classified as Class II, was announced on November 7 and affects 79,200 pounds of both salted and unsalted varieties of the butter.
According to the FDA, while the product packaging lists “cream” as an ingredient, it fails to include the “Contains Milk” allergy warning required for those with milk allergies.
Kirkland Signature is Costco’s private label, and this butter is manufactured by Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest, LLC. The recalled items were produced and distributed in Texas.
