A recall has been issued for Cabot Creamery butter across seven states due to potential bacterial contamination, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced.
On March 26, Agri-Mark, Inc. voluntarily recalled approximately 1,700 pounds of Cabot Creamery Extra Creamy Premium Butter, following concerns about elevated levels of coliform bacteria. Coliform is a group of bacteria commonly found in the environment, including in human and animal waste. While most coliform bacteria do not pose a direct health risk, they can indicate the presence of other harmful pathogens, such as certain strains of E. coli, which can cause serious illness.
The recall affects 189 cases, totaling 1,701 pounds of the butter. It involves packages of 8 oz. Cabot Creamery Extra Creamy Premium Butter, with a best-by date of September 9, 2025. The affected butter can be identified by the UPC code 0 78354 62038 0 and the lot code 090925-055.
The recall primarily impacts consumers in Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Arkansas. However, Agri-Mark reported on April 9 that it had recovered nearly all of the affected products before they reached consumers. Only 17 retail packages of the butter were sold in Vermont.
The FDA classified the recall with a “class III” risk level, indicating that it is unlikely to cause adverse health effects. To date, no illnesses or complaints have been reported. Nonetheless, the FDA advises consumers to return the recalled butter to the store or dispose of it.
