Over 64,000 pounds of butter have been recalled due to a potential undeclared allergen, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“Bunge North America Inc., based in Missouri, initiated a voluntary recall of 64,800 pounds of its NH European Style Butter Blend on July 14 because milk may not have been listed on the product’s label,” Newsweek stated.
The FDA raised the risk classification for the recall to Class II, the second-highest warning label.
According to the FDA’s website, a class II recall is “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

PEOPLE noted:
Milk is listed as one of the nine major food allergens on the FDA’s website. The FDA said food-related allergic reactions can vary in severity and include mild symptoms, such as hives, face and lip swelling, vomiting, coughing or swelling.
However, people may also get more severe reactions like anaphylaxis, which “causes the immune system to release a flood of chemicals” that can cause a person to go into shock and can be fatal, per the Mayo Clinic.
The FDA said that because of this, it “enforces regulations” to require companies to list ingredients on packaged foods and beverages. The agency added that there are “more specific labeling requirements” for foods that can “cause allergies or other hypersensitivity reactions.”
The FDA advised that if anyone who eats the affected products begins to experience any allergy symptoms, they should “stop eating the food immediately, evaluate the need to use emergency medication (such as epinephrine) and seek medical attention.”
Other major food allergens listed by the FDA include eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame.
If you think it’s butter, but it’s snot....
Milk isn’t an ingredient as much as cream is. This is ridiculous. It’s BUTTER, a dairy product.
Peanut Butter Warning: Contains Peanuts.
Bread Warning: Contains Wheat.
Ice Cream Warning: Contains Milk.
We live in a stupid universe..........................
We need a graph that includes how many guns were recalled — then we can draw some conclusions.
Just distribute stickers that say Ingredients should have included milk.
It’s cringeworthy. Totally shameful that people are this stupid.
😫.....................
“Undeclared allergen” - in Sanctuary Cities these are termed “undocumented ingredients”. Who knew butter was a dairy product?
Really, we need to be told that?
"We have met the enemy and he is us"
Butter is made from milk.
So yes, butter contains milk you dopes. And peanut butter contains peanuts.
It is like when they said a certain type of cheese could not be called cheese because it had added milk protein casein to make it smoother. Milk protein casein comes from milk. As does cheese.
They also told a dairy farmer that he had to sell his skim milk as "artificial milk" because it had not been fortified.
The FDA is getting dumber and dumber.
The safety of American retards is ensured.
“The FDA is getting dumber and dumber.”
The FDA is getting DEIer and DEIer.................
Picked up some snack bars at Walmart the other day.
I noticed when I was putting them in the pantry there was a statement on the front of the box
-
“Made in a peanut free facility”
This is all about avoiding litigation.
We are truly a law suit happy nation.
See my post 15
Half the country is of below average intelligence and many of them have jobs with responsibilities, and this is the outcome.
Maybe it is almond butter.
Insanity.
Why is Trump allowing such waste?
