A recall has been issued for Cabot Creamery butter in seven states as the product has elevated levels of a bacteria that suggests fecal contamination was found.
"Agri-Mark has identified the cause and has taken the appropriate internal actions to address it. No other products were affected," Cabot Creamery's parent company Agri-Mark said in a statement Wednesday.
The recall was marked as a Class III recall by the FDA, meaning that it believes the affected products are "not likely to cause adverse health consequences." Cabot Creamery said in an email to USA TODAY that there have been no reports of illness or consumer complaints.
The butter recall did not affect Texas, although one of its neighboring states received the product. FDA documents show that the recalled butter was sent to the following states:
Arkansas
Connecticut
Maine
New Hampshire
New York
Pennsylvania
Vermont
Elevated levels of coliform were found in the company's 8oz Extra Creamy Premium Butter, Sea Salted products, U.S. Food and Drug Administration documents show.
It is packaged as two 4-ounce sticks in cardboard shells. The packages are marked with:
Best By: 09/09/25
Lot: 090925-055
Item #: 2038
UPC: 0 78354 62038 0
The recall covers 189 cases of the product, totaling over 1,700 pounds of butter. Cabot Creamery said in an email to USA TODAY Wednesday that only 17 packages of the recalled butter were sold at retail.
Cabot Creamery said, "99.5% of the product was recovered before reaching consumers." The company said that the recalled butter that made it to store shelves was sold in Vermont.
