There’s an active recall on two types of butter sold at Costco, according to the Food and Drug Administration. This is due to the butter containing an undeclared allergen.

Costco is recalling these products as there is undeclared milk in the butter, which can confuse consumers to believe that the butter is dairy-free. If you have bought Kirkland Signature brand butter on or before October 11, check your product immediately. If it matches the recall information and you have a sensitivity or allergy to milk, dispose of it as soon as possible or return it to your local Costco for a refund.

Those with dairy allergies who eat or are in contact with this butter may experience an allergic reaction as severe as anaphylaxis. If you or someone you know is showing signs of anaphylaxis like hives, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, tightness of the throat or cardiac arrest, call 911 immediately.

For questions or concerns about this recall, contact your local FDA Complaint Coordinator.
