Butter Alert: E. coli Risk in Miyoko's Product
28 Oct
Summary
- Miyoko's butter recalled in 10 states for contamination.
- Potential E. coli, mold, and yeast found in product.
- Consumers advised to discard or return recalled butter.
Miyoko's Creamery has recalled its European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter in ten U.S. states. The recall, initiated by distributor Prosperity Organic Foods, is due to concerns over possible contamination with yeast, mold, and E. coli. This voluntary action was taken out of an abundance of caution.
The affected product is sold in eight-ounce containers, bearing the UPC code 857554005773, lot number 07871, and a best-by date of November 5, 2026. Approximately 1,304 cases were distributed across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin.
Retailers began posting recall notices in September after testing indicated the butter did not meet quality standards and potentially contained E. coli. While no illnesses have been reported, consuming the contaminated product could lead to adverse health effects. Consumers possessing the affected butter should not consume it and are advised to return it to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of it.
