Costco Butter Recall: Watch Out for Undeclared Milk!
You know that feeling. You’re at Costco, grabbing your usual bulk buys, and you see those massive tubs of Kirkland Signature butter. It’s a steal, right? But recently, Costco had to issue a recall for some of its butter, and it’s not just any old recall. This one’s serious, folks.
Why the Recall?
The issue is an undeclared milk allergen in some of those tasty butter tubs. The problem? People with milk allergies can have a serious reaction to even the tiniest bit of milk. We’re talking hives, breathing problems, and even anaphylaxis – a life-threatening allergic reaction.
What Butter is Affected?
The recall affects Kirkland Signature Salted Butter and Kirkland Signature Unsalted Butter. The affected tubs have specific "Best by" dates printed on the bottom, so make sure to check yours!
What Should You Do?
If you bought any of the affected butter, don’t eat it! Check the "Best by" date on the bottom of your tub. If it matches any of the dates listed on the official Costco website, throw it out or return it to Costco for a full refund.
What About Other Brands?
This recall is specific to Kirkland Signature butter, so other brands are safe for now.
This is a big deal, folks!
It’s scary to think about the potential harm from an ingredient you didn’t even know was there. Always check labels carefully and be aware of any potential allergens in the food you buy.
Stay safe out there, butter lovers!
