Butter Recall: Costco's Got a Case of the B-B-Butter Blues!
Costco - everyone's favorite warehouse club - has issued a butter recall! Yep, you heard that right, their 80,000 pounds of unsalted butter are getting pulled from shelves. This ain't just a small blip on the radar either, folks. It's a biggie!
What's the Big Deal?
Turns out, the butter in question has a potential issue with listeria. This is a nasty little bacteria that can cause some pretty serious problems, like food poisoning, even death. Yikes!
The Butter's Identity
Now, the butter in question is Kirkland Signature unsalted butter, made in 1-pound packages. The affected products have the following production codes:
- 041520234
- 041520235
- 041620234
- 041620235
What to Do If You Have It?
If you happen to have any of this butter in your fridge (and don't we all love a good stash of butter!), don't eat it. Toss it out or return it to Costco for a full refund.
Costco's Got Your Back
Don't sweat it too much. Costco is on top of this. They've been working with the FDA to get this recall sorted out as quickly as possible. They're also sending out notices to customers who purchased this butter.
Bottom Line: Stay Safe!
Food safety is no joke. This recall is a good reminder to always check product labels and be aware of any potential food safety issues. And hey, if you're looking for some good butter, you can always head over to your local supermarket or farmers market for a safer alternative.
Just remember to keep your fridge stocked with delicious, safe butter!
