Cabot Creamery has announced a voluntary recall of one lot of its Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted, due to potential contamination. The recall involves approximately 1,700 pounds of butter, equivalent to 189 cases, distributed in seven states. The affected butter was found to contain elevated levels of coliform bacteria during routine testing.
According to the company, the recall is a precautionary measure taken to ensure consumer safety and maintain product quality. Coliform bacteria are commonly found in the environment and can indicate potential fecal contamination. While not all coliform bacteria are harmful, their presence in elevated levels suggests a risk of other, more dangerous pathogens.
The recalled butter is identified as Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted, with a 'Best By' date and lot code that consumers should check. Customers who have purchased the affected product are urged to dispose of it immediately and contact Cabot Creamery for further information or a refund.
The company is working closely with regulatory agencies to investigate the source of the contamination and implement corrective actions to prevent future incidents. Cabot Creamery emphasizes its commitment to providing safe, high-quality dairy products and apologizes for any inconvenience this recall may cause.
