Costco recently recalled approximately 80,000 pounds of store-brand butter due to a labeling oversight involving a key allergen: milk. The recall affects two varieties of Kirkland Signature butter and was initiated because the labels omitted the required “Contains Milk” statement.
Details of the Recall
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this as a “Class II” recall, meaning the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences for individuals with milk allergies.
The recall includes the following products, manufactured by Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest:
Kirkland Signature Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter: 46,800 pounds
Kirkland Signature Salted Sweet Cream Butter: 32,400 pounds

Guidance for Consumers
While the FDA has not issued specific instructions for handling the recalled butter, general guidelines advise consumers to either dispose of the product or return it to the retailer for a full refund.
This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of clear allergen labeling to ensure the safety of all consumers.
