More context
The FDA placed the recall of Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter in its Class II category, citing potential yeast, mold and E. coli contamination. The agency assigned the rating on Oct. 23, and the product was distributed to retailers in 10 states. A Class II rating means exposure could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, while the probability of serious harm is considered remote. The recall covers 8-ounce packages with lot code 07871 on the primary packaging and 1007871 on the outer case. Prosperity Organic Foods Inc., the Boise, Idaho-based maker, initiated the voluntary recall on Sept. 11. The recall followed a notice from supermarket chain Market Basket about high yeast levels, according to WGRZ. No illnesses have been reported. Consumers should not eat the butter and can return it for a full refund.
