Another day, another recall. It if seems like there have been a number of recalls recently, you’re not imagining it. In the last month alone, there has been a recall for particular brands of soup, sparkling water, and vegetables. However, this time it’s for butter.
What’s happened?
Agri-Mark Inc, the maker of Cabot Creamery dairy products, conducted a voluntary recall for a single lot of its Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted totaling 1,700 pounds in 189 cases, after testing revealed an elevated level of coliform bacteria. The recall was initiated on March 26.
Coliform bacteria often are considered indicators of fecal contamination.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this as a Class III recall, which means the products are not likely to cause adverse health consequences. There have been no reported complaints or illnesses related to this product.
“Agri-Mark successfully recovered 99.5% of the lot of the recalled product before it was sold to consumers,” Cabot Creamery’s parent company said in a statement on Wednesday. “A small amount —17 retail packages (8.5 lbs.) — was sold to consumers in Vermont” where the company is based.
Agri-Mark said it has identified the cause and taken the appropriate internal actions to address it. No other products were affected.
What states are effected?
The recalled butter was distributed in seven states: Arkansas, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.

What should I do if I have the recalled product?
If a food is recalled, do not eat it, even though the food product may be recalled as a precaution, according to Foodsafety.gov.
The company said “there have been a variety of news reports that are incomplete and have dramatically misrepresented this recall with respect to the risk it posed to consumers.”
Consumers who have any concerns about this product and questions can contact Cabot Creamery at by phone at 1-888-792-2268 (Monday – Friday, 9:30 a.m.– 5:00 p.m. ET) or via email here.
