Costco butter recall: 80,000 pounds of Kirkland Signature sticks may pose an allergy risk due to label error, FDA says

The recall of nearly 80,000 pounds of Kirkland Signature butter is due to a labeling error that omitted critical allergen information, putting consumers at risk.

Two Kirkland Signature butter products are under recall: Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter and Salted Sweet Cream Butter, both lacking key allergy statements on their packaging.

The FDA emphasized that the recall was not due to contamination, but a significant oversight in allergen labeling, which could affect those with milk allergies.

Continental Dairy Facilities Southwest is the recalling firm for the Kirkland butter, which has raised concerns among consumers with dairy allergies.
