Overview
- Prosperity Organic Foods initiated a voluntary recall on Sept. 11 after retailer testing flagged elevated yeast levels in Miyoko’s European‑style plant milk/cultured vegan butter.
- The FDA upgraded the recall to a Class II risk on Oct. 23, a designation that means exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects.
- The recall covers 1,304 cases (7,824 individual 8‑ounce units) from lot numbers 07871 (unit) and 1007871 (case) with a best‑by date of Nov. 5, 2026, sold in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Wisconsin.
- Laboratory and enforcement reports list yeast, mold and E. coli as the specific concerns; no illnesses have been reported so far and consumers are advised to discard or return any product from the affected lots.
- Class II recalls typically call for retailer refunds and extra testing, and public‑health watchers will be tracking any linked illnesses and further FDA or company updates while vulnerable groups such as young children and older adults are reminded to seek care for severe gastrointestinal symptoms.
