A plant-based butter sold in 10 US states has been recalled. The product is Miyoko's Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the recall a Class II risk level on October 23, 2026.
Shoppers should check the pack code before they use it.
What happened
The recall started on September 11, 2026. Prosperity Organic Foods Inc. started it on its own will.
The firm is based in Boise, Idaho. It sells the butter under the Miyoko's Creamery name.
The FDA lists yeast, mold, and E. coli as the reasons for the recall. Yeast and mold are tiny living things that can spoil food.
E. coli is a type of germ that can make people sick. The FDA report does not say that every pack is unsafe.
It says the listed lot is part of the recall.
The recall covers 1,304 cases of the butter. That is 7,824 single packs, according to Health. Each pack weighs 8 ounces, or 227 grams.
The packs were sold in 6-pack cases. The butter is kept cold in a fridge or a freezer.
On October 23, the FDA raised the risk level to Class II. Class II is the second-highest risk level. It means harm is not likely to last for a long time.
It also means harm may still need care, said USA Today. The chance of serious harm is seen as remote.
No illnesses have been reported in this recall, according to USA Today. That fact matters. It means no sick person has been linked to the butter so far.
It does not mean the butter is safe to eat. The recall still stands for the listed lot.
Which packs are recalled
Only one product and one lot are listed. Do not guess from the brand name alone. Match all three codes on your pack.
The codes are the UPC, the lot number, and the best-by date.
Here are the exact codes from the FDA report:
- Product: Miyoko's Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter
- Pack size: 8 ounces (227 grams)
- UPC: 857554005773
- Lot on the small carton: 07871
- Lot on the large shipping case: 1007871
- Best-by date: November 5, 2026
The two lot numbers can cause mix-ups. The small carton shows 07871. The large case shows 1007871.
Both codes point to the same recall. Some shop signs show only the case code. So check the UPC too.
The UPC is the long number under the bar code.
The butter was sold in 10 states. The states are Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. If you bought the butter in another state, it is not in this recall.
But still check the codes if you are unsure.
This is not the first food recall this month to hit the news. A cheese recall in Canada pulled 12 products from shops. A tablet recall also warned buyers to check pack codes.
Recalls like these show why pack codes matter more than brand names.
Why it matters
Plant butter is a daily food for many homes. Some people cannot eat milk. Some people choose not to eat milk.
They may use this butter for toast each morning. They may also use it for cooking and baking.
A pack bought in September may still sit in a home freezer. The best-by date is November 5, 2026. That date has not passed yet.
So old packs may still be in use. This is why the recall news is trending now. People want to know if their pack is safe.
The recall also shows how food checks work. USA Today reported, citing WGRZ, that a shop chain flagged high yeast levels first. The chain is Market Basket, based in Massachusetts.
It told its buyers that the yeast levels did not meet its quality rules. The FDA then listed the recall reasons in its report.
Yeast and mold do not always cause sickness. But they can spoil food and change its taste. E.
coli is the bigger worry in this recall. Some E. coli germs can cause gut sickness.
Signs can include bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. They can also include fever, nausea, and vomiting, according to the CDC, as reported by USA Today. Signs can start some days after a person eats the food.
Young children and older adults face higher risk from severe sickness. That is why recalls urge care even when no illness is known. If you feel sick after eating the butter, seek care at once.
Tell the doctor what you ate and when you ate it.

What to do if you have it
First, do not eat the recalled butter. Check your fridge and your freezer. Look for the brand name on the pack.
Then look for the UPC and the lot number. Match them with the codes listed above.
If your pack matches, return it to the shop where you bought it. USA Today says buyers can get a full refund there. Do not throw the pack away before you check the refund rules.
Some shops may want the pack back. Others may accept a photo of the codes.
Next, clean any place the butter touched. Wash your hands with soap and water. Wash knives, plates, and boards that touched the butter.
This step is simple, but it helps stop germs from spreading.
If your pack does not match the codes, you do not need to act. The recall covers only the listed lot. But keep the pack codes in mind when you shop next.
A quick check takes less than a minute.
For questions about the recall, buyers can call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332. That number was listed by USA Today. You can also ask the shop where you bought the butter.
Shop staff can check if your pack is part of the recall.
What happens next
The recall is still listed as ongoing, according to the FDA report. That means the work is not yet closed. Shops in the 10 states should have pulled the listed packs.
Buyers who still hold a pack should return it.
Watch for more news if the FDA adds more lots. So far, only one lot is listed. No new lot has been named in the reports checked for this article.
If a new lot is added, the state list may change too.
Shoppers who need a swap can look for other spreads for now. A guide to butter swaps for baking can help in the kitchen. But check any new pack codes before you buy.
Recalls can change fast, and codes are the safest check.
The main step stays simple. Check the UPC, the lot, and the date. If all three match, do not eat it.
Return it and get your money back.
