A recall of Miyoko’s plant-based butter is affecting shoppers in 10 states after yeast, mold and E. coli were cited by the Food and Drug Administration. The butter was first recalled on Sept. 11, and on Oct. 23 the FDA assigned the recall a Class II risk level—the agency’s second-highest category. That classification means the product is unlikely to cause permanent health problems, though it may lead to temporary or reversible effects.
The recall covers 1,304 cases, or 7,824 individual products, distributed by Prosperity Organic Foods Inc.
