FDA classifies recall of Miyoko's Creamery plant-based butter sold in 10 states

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has designated a recall of more than 1,300 cases of Miyoko's Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter as a Class II recall, citing possible contamination with yeast, mold and E. coli, according to reports from WSB-TV and Gray News stations.

WSB-TV and Boston 25 News, both carrying a Cox Media Group report, said the FDA counted 1,304 cases in the recall. The recall began on Sept. 11, and the agency assigned it the Class II designation on Oct. 23, those outlets reported.

The affected product carries lot number 07871 on its primary packaging and a best-by date of Nov. 5, 2026, according to both the Cox and Gray reports. WSB-TV added that the corrugated shipping cases used to transport the product are marked with lot number 1007871 and the same best-by date.

The outlets differed slightly on where the butter was sold. KWCH 12 and 1011 Now, publishing a Gray News report, listed 10 states: Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Wisconsin. The Cox Media Group report described the recall as covering 10 states but named only nine, leaving Indiana off its list.

Guidance for consumers also varied in the coverage. Gray News reported that people who have the butter should not eat it, and noted that the recall notice did not include details about refunds. WSB-TV reported that the FDA did not specify what to do with the product, adding that the agency typically recommends discarding recalled items or returning them to the store where they were bought.

None of the reports mentioned any illnesses linked to the product.

Under the FDA's classification system, a Class II recall generally covers products that could cause temporary or medically reversible health problems, or where the likelihood of serious harm is considered remote. The reports did not describe how the contamination was discovered or whether other Miyoko's Creamery products are affected.

Consumers who are unsure whether they have the recalled product can check the lot number and best-by date printed on the package against the details released by the FDA.
