Costco Butter Recall

[Pablo]

This is a new low in stupidity

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/costco-butter-recall/

"Costco recalled nearly 80,000 pounds of store-brand butter last month because the product's label was missing a key ingredient: milk."

Costco is the best. My favorite store. I have some Costco butter, and not having "milk" on the label concerns me not.

I think most folk have that tidbit of knowledge!

typical bull!! the FDA needs to really protect us + ban the many chemicals allowed $$$ in our foods!!

I've been buying Kirkland butter for many years now, and I have never noticed a change in packaging. But I'm guessing they just did? Otherwise, you would think this error would have been on the boxes, for a very long time.

I also won't be returning my butter.

We have to protect our democracy bureaucracy!

I only get Kerrygold (gold wrapper) butter there, others don't compare, not even close.

The Recall is crazy, like forgetting to call your water bottle water.

I wonder who at Costco redid the labeling/packaging and forgot to include the required details.

It says made with cream. Do people not know that cream is from milk?

If you go to Europe A McDonald’s french fry has three ingredients. In the United States it has something like 20. The FDA is a farce.

Same in Canada....

I doubt anyone will return or discard their butter for that reason.

True, but it wouldn't surprise me if some sort of lawsuit was conjured up because of a simple/harmless to most oversight.

That’s all we buy. At least it’s not tainted?

All this science stuff is beyond me. Way too much to rememeber.

No lie Costco is strange in moving products all the time. Finding the Hawaiian bread is like, “The Amazing Race.” It could literally be anywhere in the store.

Last week when I bought 4lbs of butter, I could not find salted and was going to go with unsalted. They were placed in completely different refrigerator case aisles.

I guess the FDA doesn't think the Department of Education does a good job.

This is good for Costco.. They don't want some nutjob saying that Costco is trying to sell you fake butter because "Milk" isn't on the label.
