Miyoko’s Creamery is recalling 1,304 cases of its European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter after testing found potential contamination with yeast, mold and E. coli, according to ABC7, which cited the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The recall covers a single lot sold in 10 states, and the best-by date is Nov. 5, 2026.
Recalled Product and Lot Number
ABC7 reported the following details for the recalled butter:
- Product: Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter, 8-ounce packages
- Lot code: 07871
- Best-by date: Nov. 5, 2026
- UPC: 857554005773
- Distributor: Prosperity Organic Foods Inc., Boise, Idaho
KOLD reported the same product name, lot code and best-by date.
Why the Butter Was Recalled
The FDA says the butter may be contaminated with yeast, mold and E. coli, according to KOLD. ABC7 reported that testing found the potential contamination. Neither report said which test or laboratory identified the problem.
FDA Classification and Timeline
ABC7 reported that the FDA classified the recall as Class II, which the agency describes as a situation in which “use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” The company voluntarily started the recall on Sept. 11, and it is ongoing, ABC7 reported. Both outlets reported it on Oct. 28, about six and a half weeks after that start date.
No illnesses were mentioned in the reports reviewed. That is not the same as a confirmation that no one has been sickened.
States Where It Was Sold
Both outlets listed Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. Consumers elsewhere may still want to check their lot code, because the reports did not explain how the product was distributed beyond those states.
What Consumers Should Do
KOLD said people who have the affected butter should not eat it. ABC7 urged consumers to check their refrigerators for the product. To check, compare the lot code and best-by date printed on the package with the details above. Because the best-by date is Nov. 5, 2026, the butter may still be in use in some households.
KOLD reported that the recall notice gave no information about refunds or returns. Shoppers who need guidance can ask the store where they bought the product or contact the company. If a lot code cannot be read, it is reasonable to check with the store or company before eating the butter. Anyone concerned about their health after eating a recalled food should speak with a health care provider.
What Has Not Been Verified
This report relies on two news outlets that cite FDA information. KOLD linked to an FDA notice listed as Event 99871, but that page was not independently reviewed here, so the details above should be checked against the FDA’s own recall database. Neither report included a statement from Miyoko’s Creamery. Only lot 07871 was identified as affected, and this article will be updated if the FDA or the company announces additional lots or refund instructions.
