Costco recalled almost 80,000 pounds of butter because the labels failed to say it contained milk

Costco recalled 79,200 pounds of butter for not including allergen warnings. This recall includes both unsalted and salted varieties and has been classified as Class II by the FDA.

The FDA indicated the potential health risks associated with the recall, stating that exposure could lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences for allergic individuals.

The omitted allergen labeling for the butter affected 1,300 cases of Kirkland Signature Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter and 900 cases of Kirkland Signature Salted Sweet Cream Butter.

According to the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, it is necessary for products to specify allergens, which include milk, as they account for most food allergies in the US.
