If you have inflammation, arterial plaque, and high LDL, I encourage you to eat more than 16 g of any saturated fat to shorten your suffering.
Costco Butter Recall

Can’t help it if people can’t control their sugar addiction
Oh and we were told 16g of fake plant fat is healthier
You just don't get a break. Good information is hard to come by. Just give up and go with what you want to believe.
Isn't that Rapeseed oil which is canola oil which is not good for you?
Isn't that the truth.
I certainly am not arguing that a high fat diet is healthy if that is what you are implying. But butter is not a worse choice for your fat limit.
Well mainly that depends on the extraction method.
I don't like the idea of waste but companies can simply write this off as a loss, plus the time/labor just isn't something they'll even consider.
Plus, they can't sit on tons of perishables waiting for labels to get printed.
Some enterprising middle manager could probably sell it to a local hog farmer if it was worth the bother
Context: 80,000lbs is 40 tons or half of what an 18-wheeler can carry.
The US produce about 2 billion tons of butter every year. A percentage is excess production that cannot be used, sold, or given away. A two-digit percentage of the global butter production is wasted.

Basically what it comes down to.
Likely but still better than the American version.
I fry mine in peanut oil. Not because it’s good for you, because it has a high flash point and is tasty.

That's assuming nobody bought it before they saw it
Yes true, but oddly of all stores Costco knows nearly exactly who bought butter from them.
It's a formality. By doing this, there will be "news" telling people about it and warn them just in case. This is for the butter that's already been bought obviously. The products are mislabeled so a sign isn't enough and as I said in another post, no way are they going to add stickers to every single box, which is the only alternative that would allow them to sell it.
100% agree formality. Better if they called it even a safety notification or product alert rather than a RECALL.
The sign idea was more to cover the hassle of labeling the 4 pound cello packs for existing product.
Anyway as I stated, if they wanted Costco could notify all buyers, the information is in their database. Who knows if the contact info would be worth a hoot, ancient landline #'s, old emails, etc big hassle.
It's an "allergen" risk and the FDA doesn't have different levels of classification. They appear to treat all allergen risks the same too. I don't know how someone allergic to milk will react to consuming milk whereas some people can die from an allergic reaction.

As it’s been pointed out, not everyone knows butter is a milk product, so really we ought to consider banning butter altogether, out of an abundance of caution
