Hold the Butter! Costco Recalls 80,000 Pounds of the Creamy Goodness

Alright, butter lovers, listen up! This ain't no April Fool's joke. Costco just recalled 80,000 pounds of their Kirkland Signature unsalted butter because it could be contaminated with listeria.

Listeriosis, the illness caused by listeria bacteria, can be serious, especially for pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiffness, nausea, diarrhea, and even miscarriages.

What Happened?

The butter recall was issued after a routine test found listeria in some samples. The butter was distributed across the country, but don't panic! It's super easy to see if you have affected product:

• Kirkland Signature Unsalted Butter
• Lot code: 2221010787
• Best by date: 01/08/2024

What to Do

If you've got this butter in your fridge, don't eat it! You've got a couple of options:

1. Return it to Costco: No receipt needed! They'll happily give you a refund.
2. Toss it out: If you can't return it, throw it away in a tightly sealed container.

It's a bummer, but safety first, right? And you know what? Even though it's a pain, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Let's stay informed, keep our bellies happy, and enjoy our butter with a side of peace of mind!

P.S. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Costco or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
