FDA: Butter Recalled Due to Possible Fecal Contamination
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Cabot Creamery butter has been recalled due to possible fecal contamination. The product tested positive for elevated levels of coliform, bacteria that usually indicate fecal contamination. Only 17 packages of butter reached retailer shelves, according to a Cabot spokesperson. See below for impacted lots and recall details. Agri-Mark, Inc., a food manufacturer based in Vermont, has recalled 1,700 pounds of Cabot Creamery Extra Creamy Premium Butter with sea salt due to possible fecal contamination. The lot of butter, which was sold in eight-ounce packages as two four-ounce sticks, was found to be contaminated with elevated levels of coliform, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, a Cabot spokesperson tells Prevention that only 17 packages (8.5 lbs) of impacted product hit retailer shelves. Coliform are a type of bacteria considered indicative of fecal contamination, and tests for them are a standard part of food safety and sanitation. A high number of coliform in raw milk, specifically, can indicate unsanitary practices or conditions. High numbers of coliform in pasteurized milk usually indicate post-pasteurization contamination or improper heat-processing. E. coli is a species of coliform that can cause infection in humans. Symptoms include mild to severe bloody diarrhea, stomach cramping, pain or tenderness, and nausea and vomiting, according to the Mayo Clinic. If you believe you have impacted product, do not eat it.

However, a Cabot spokesperson tells Prevention, 'Agri-Mark successfully recovered 99.5% of the lot of the recalled product before it was sold to consumers. A small amount—17 retail packages (8.5 lbs)—was sold to consumers in Vermont.' The identification information, found on the outside of the butter sticks' cardboard box, is: Best By: 09/09/25, Lot: 090925-055, Item #: 2038, UPC: 0 78354 62038 0 The FDA classified the recall as a Class III, which is the agency's lowest risk category and suggests that use of the affected product is 'not likely to cause adverse health consequences.'

The voluntary recall was initiated by Cabot's parent company, Agri-Mark, Inc., on March 26, 2025, after internal testing detected elevated levels of coliform bacteria.

Here's what that means: This isn't a high-risk recall, but it still carries weight in the broader conversation about food quality and safety. Coliform bacteria aren't necessarily dangerous themselves, but they signal potential lapses in sanitation or handling conditions that regulators and producers take seriously.

For a co-op like Cabot Creamery, maintaining consumer trust means being transparent—even when the stakes are low. Voluntarily initiating a recall, even without a press release, shows that food safety efforts are at work. While it's unlikely this butter will make anyone sick, it's still a good opportunity for consumers to stay informed and for brands to reinforce a commitment to accountability at every stage of production.
