Miyoko's Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter with a November 5 best-by date remains under recall for yeast, mold and E. coli concerns. Shoppers should match the carton codes before eating it, including packages kept in a freezer.

The FDA's enforcement record identifies 1,304 cases distributed in 10 states. Prosperity Organic Foods initiated the voluntary recall on September 11; the FDA classified it as Class II on October 23. The recall remains ongoing, as ABC7 reported October 28.

The Class II designation covers products that may cause temporary or reversible health effects, or situations where the chance of serious health consequences is remote.

Match the salted butter carton

The affected product is the 8-ounce, 227-gram European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter. Its identifying information is:

  • UPC: 857554005773.
  • Lot on the individual carton: 07871.
  • Best-by date: November 5, 2026.
  • Shipping-case code: 1007871.

The listed distribution states are Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The FDA describes the butter as a perishable product stored refrigerated or frozen.

Wegmans' September 13 notice lists that salted product's UPC and the longer case code. It says customers can return the butter to the Service Desk for a full refund. Buyers from other stores should check with their retailer about its return arrangements.

A separate unsalted withdrawal

A Wedge Community Co-ops notice dated October 26 concerns a different product: Miyoko Creamery Unsalted European-Style Plant Butter, also 8 ounces.

That notice gives UPC 857554005995, lot 1008243 and a November 27, 2026 best-by date. It says the company is voluntarily withdrawing one lot while investigating mold complaints. The date and lot are stamped in dark ink on the package end.

Wedge directs customers who bought that product to Wedge Lyndale or Linden Hills Customer Service for a full refund. Its notice does not establish nationwide distribution of the unsalted lot or identify E. coli as the reason for that withdrawal. The salted recall's November 5 date and E. coli concern should not be transferred to the unsalted product.

If your package matches

Do not eat the affected butter. FDA food-recall guidance says to follow the product notice and securely wrap contaminated food before disposal if it cannot be returned. Do not give it to a food bank or a pet.

Clean refrigerator surfaces and utensils that contacted recalled food. The CDC's refrigerator-cleaning instructions cover removable shelves, drawers and interior surfaces, and warn against putting cold glass shelves directly into hot water because they can crack. Anyone with symptoms after eating a recalled food should contact a health care provider, the FDA advises.
