More than 64,000 pounds of butter have been pulled from distribution across the United States after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) escalated its recall classification, citing risks tied to an undeclared milk allergen.
The FDA butter recall, which originally began on 14 July as a voluntary action by food manufacturer Bunge North America Inc., was officially upgraded to a Class II recall on 30 July. That designation means the product could cause 'temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,' although the risk of serious outcomes is considered remote.
