The creamery said that 99.5% of the butter was taken back before it reached customers.
Shoppers are being told to check their fridges after a batch of dirty butter was removed from store shelves.
More than 1,700 pounds of the bad butter were sold in big stores like Walmart in seven US states.
The recalled butter had bacteria that come from animal waste, raising concerns about it being unsafe.
Almost 2,000 pounds of Cabot Creamery butter were taken back because they had high levels of coliform bacteria.
This kind of bacteria is usually found in the intestines of animals.
The butter was sold in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Arkansas.
The FDA says the recall involved over 1,700 pounds of butter packed into 189 boxes.
The recall started on March 26 after tests showed the butter was contaminated.
The butter in question is Cabot’s 8oz Extra Creamy Premium Sea Salted variety.
It comes as two 4oz sticks in a cardboard box.
The recalled butter has the lot code 090925-055 and UPC 0 78354 62038 0, with a best-by date of September 9, 2025.
Cabot’s parent company, Agri-Mark, said only 17 packages ended up on store shelves in Vermont.
The company says 99.5% of the butter was taken back before it reached customers.
The FDA labeled the recall as Class III, which means the butter isn’t likely to cause serious health problems.
Coliform bacteria, often found in dirt, water, and animal intestines, can be a sign of possible poop contamination.
While coliform itself usually doesn’t make people sick, it could mean more harmful germs like E. coli are present.
Cabot Creamery told The U.S. Sun that no one has reported getting sick or complained about the butter.
They also said they found the cause of the problem quickly and fixed it.
The recall only affects this butter, not any other Cabot products.
Agri-Mark, the parent company, said they take food safety seriously and always check their products.
They didn’t give specific instructions on how to throw the butter away.
The safest thing to do is toss it or bring it back to the store for a refund.
