Cabot Creamery issued a voluntary retirement for a single lot of its extra creamy premium butter, salty in seven states, by a total of 1,700 pounds in 189 cases, after the tests found that the product was contaminated with high levels of coliform bacteria, according to the food and drug administration of the United States.
The bacteria can suggest fecal contamination.
“Agri-Mark successfully recovered 99.5% of the batch of the withdrawal product before consumers were sold,” said the parent company in a statement on Wednesday. “A small amount – 17 retail packages (8.5 pounds) was sold to consumers in Vermont.”
The FDA marked retirement as class III, which is “reserved for products that are not probable to cause adverse health consequences. “Diseases or complaints related to the affected product have not been informed.
The coliform is commonly found in the environment and the feces of humans and animals, according to the Department of Health of the Vermont state. Although most of the types of coliform bacteria are harmless, fecal coliform and bacteria such as e.coli can cause disease.
The retired butter was distributed in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont.
The butter is packaged as two 4 -ounce sticks in cardboard shells. To identify the retired product, consumers should look for the following:
