More than 64,000 pounds of butter retired on allergen concerns


A voluntary retirement has been issued for more than 64,000 pounds of butter containing an unstalled allergen.

The voluntary retirement was initiated on July 14 by the food ingredient company Bunge North America, affecting 1,800 boxes of its European -style butter mixture that did not declare milk as allergen on the label.

As of July 30, the Food and Medicines Administration (FDA) described it as a class II retreat, the second highest risk. A class II withdrawal is “a situation in which the use or exposure to a rapist product can cause adverse consequences of temporary or medically reversible adverse health or when the probability of adverse consequences of serious health is remote,” according to the FDA.

The butter was sent to 12 distribution centers located throughout the United States, as well as a single distribution center located in the Dominican Republic.

The affected cases were packaged in white plate and contained 36 blocks.

  • Product Code: 5023937
  • UPC: 1 00 78684 73961 2
  • Lot Code: 5064036503

Butter withdrawal is the last one of a series of problems related to food and drink in the United States.

Earlier this week, the Halfing Hard Seltzers were withdrawn due to a labeling error. Some cans, full of High Noon Vodka Sethzer, were poorly labeled as the vibrating energy drink of Celsius without alcohol, the Razz Blue Razz edition. As a result, drinking the drink in these cans can result in an unintentional alcohol consumption.

However, to date no diseases or adverse events have been reported.

According to a press release. High Noon began withdrawal after discovering “a shared packaging supplier sent by mistake the empty Celsius cans at noon,” according to the press release.

The 12 of the 12th of Noon Beach retired packages were sent to the distributors in eight states that later sent the product to the retailers in six states: Florida, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin, between July 21 and 23.

Even if they did not buy the midday packages, consumers are encouraged to make sure that their Vibe Celsius Astro's energy drink, the Razz Blue Razz edition, does not have the same lot codes as the removed cans.

Single service coffee pods have also retired from the market this week.

New Mexico's Café Piñon announced in a press release that he was voluntarily withdrawing 154 boxes from his service cups of a single dark pinon service, which have 10 pods per box. The withdrawal was emitted due to the “potential introduction of food color in the cups”, which are compatible with Keurig machines, during the elaboration of beer.

The retired coffee capsules were sold in popular retailers throughout the country, including Target, Costco, Walmart and Kroger.

Although there was no disease or injury report, consumers are urged to throw the affected capsules or return them to the place of purchase.
