Over 64,000 pounds of butter recalled over undeclared milk

[Crossy]

 

More than 64,000 pounds of butter have been recalled due to potential undeclared milk allergens, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Food ingredient company Bunge North America recalled 1,800 cases of its NH European Style Butter Blend that were distributed at 12 centers located across the United States and one in Dominican Republic, a July 14 FDA alert reported.

 

The FDA classified the recall under its second-highest risk warning on July 31 warning that consumption could pose temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.

Yup, it is actual butter made from, er, milk!

 

Whilst food labelling for allergens is important, one would assume (unwise I know) that those with milk allergies would know what butter is made from.

You can blame "vegan butter" for the confusion,

I was staggered to learn that butter on bread is not really a thing in the US????

 

This was from talking to my American daughter in law.

 

Anyone concur?

My wife and I had a Sunday Roast lunch yesterday, including Yorkshire puddings. Everything was very good except my pork which was dry as a witches tit. My wife asked why no fat on her lamb and my pork. The reply, "We have a Clean? Lean? Green? not sure which, policy and we cut all the fat off our meat." Will purveyors of food mind their own business and give us undoctored food? The next thing will be the labelling of chicken eggs. Male or Female? And whether they will be cocks. And those that like cocks but will be hens. Or maybe not.

If the truth be told the purveyors of food are probably "minding our business".....in that they will respond to any perceived selling points customers indicate (like lean meat please)......but having said that....in Thailand the fat is good bit!!!

A good point. But we are not all health food freaks. Eat what you like, but don't over eat. Some of the pictures I see on the web, such as 'Rate my plate' tosh, is food piled up on plates as big as dustbin lids. I'm ninety one and don't gorge. Eating what I like hasn't done me any harm. So far.😉

Yeah, we have to get to item 3 on the ingredients list before we get to actual butter.

Butter blend here is about 40% cheaper than butter so I assume there is at least 40% of a cheaper product mixed in. Never touch butter blend or margarine myself.

I like both margerine, and butter.  I think the blend (cheaper, and probably healthier) is not a bad compromise.
