Overview

• The FDA upgraded the recall of 64,800 pounds of NH European-Style Butter Blend to a Class II risk on August 2.
• The recall affects butter shipped to 12 US distribution centers and one in the Dominican Republic bearing UPC 10078684739612 and lot code 5064036503.
• A Class II risk indicates exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible health issues, with milk-allergic consumers facing potential anaphylaxis.
• Milk is one of nine major US allergens and mislabeling incidents could threaten the roughly 6% of Americans with food allergies.
• Retailers including Walmart and Kroger are coordinating returns, and consumers are urged to check labels and discard or return any affected butter.
