In a startling announcement that has left grocery shoppers across the country reeling, the FDA has issued an urgent Level 2 Risk Alert for a massive 64,800 pounds of butter that has been recalled from store shelves.
The recall, which affects multiple states, was triggered after concerns emerged over possible contamination that could pose serious health risks to consumers. While specific details about the contamination are still under investigation, officials are warning anyone who recently purchased butter to check their product labels immediately.
The affected batches were distributed to major supermarkets, restaurants, and wholesale suppliers. Customers who find matching product codes are being advised to stop using the butter immediately and either return it to the store or dispose of it safely.
Food safety experts are urging people to take the recall seriously, as contaminated dairy products can lead to severe illnesses — especially in young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
This isn’t the first large-scale dairy recall in recent months, but the sheer volume of this one has drawn national attention and concern. The FDA has promised daily updates as the investigation unfolds.
📌 What you should do now:
- Check your fridge for the affected butter brand and batch codes.
- Do NOT consume the product if it matches the recall notice.
- Contact your store or the manufacturer for a full refund.
Shoppers are being warned: When in doubt, throw it out.
