Nearly 65,000 Pounds Of Butter Recalled

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.”

Butter is made from milk, if you need a warning label to tell you that, your milk allergy is the least of your worries. https://t.co/A8NwqOHL8a

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.
