Miyoko's Creamery plant-based butter is under a Class II recall in 10 states. Prosperity Organic Foods, Inc. voluntarily initiated the recall on Sept. 11, 2026, over possible contamination with yeast, mold and E. coli. The FDA classified it on Oct. 23, and the status is ongoing. The recall covers 7,824 units, or 1,304 cases.
What's Being Recalled?
The product is Miyoko's Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter, 8 oz, UPC 857554005773. It comes wrapped in wax paper inside a solid bleached sulfate carton. The retail carton is Lot 07871, best-by Nov. 5, 2026. The shipping case, which holds six 8-ounce packages, is Lot 1007871, with the same best-by date. The butter was distributed in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The FDA record lists no retailers or price. The agency's report does not identify other Miyoko's products as part of this action.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
The stated reason is potential contamination with yeast, mold and E. coli. The FDA entry does not identify the E. coli strain. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and it is unclear whether anyone has become sick. Under the FDA's Class II definition, use of or exposure to the product "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," or the probability of serious consequences is remote. Protecting your household starts with checking what is already in your fridge or freezer.
What Should You Do?
Check the carton for Lot 07871 and the Nov. 5, 2026 best-by date. If your butter matches, do not eat it. The recall notice gives no return or refund instructions, and none was posted on the company's website, so contact the retailer where you bought it to ask about options. The company said in a Facebook reply that it pulled "a very small number of products" in early September and that all potentially affected products were removed from shelves. If you ate the butter and feel unwell, contact your health care provider.
