The Miyoko’s butter recall covers European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter in 8 oz (227 g) cartons with UPC 857554005773, lot 07871 and a best-by date of 5 November 2026. The FDA lists yeast, mold and E. coli as the reason. US customers with matching details should stop using the product and follow the return or disposal guidance below.
Prosperity Organic Foods initiated the voluntary recall on 11 September; the FDA classified it as Class II on 23 October. Coverage published on 28 October brought the lot back into view, but that does not make 28 October the recall’s start date. The FDA record lists the action as ongoing, covering 1,304 cases distributed in ten states.
Match the carton, then the case
Check the individual carton and shipping case separately. The carton code is “Lot 07871 Best by 11/5/26 09”. The corrugated case code is “1007871 Best by 11/5/26 09:05”. The case description is Organic European Style Plant Milk Butter, a six-pack of 8 oz units with a net weight of 3 lb. A household carton therefore does not need to display the longer shipping-case number to match the recall.
The ten distribution states listed by the FDA are Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. The product is stored refrigerated or frozen, so check both places where you keep it. This record identifies a particular product and code combination; it does not announce a recall of every Miyoko’s product or establish a UK distribution scope.
What Class II means and how to respond
Class II means exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, or that the probability of serious effects is remote, according to the FDA’s definition. It is still a recall. The event record does not identify an E. coli strain, an illness count or how contamination arose, so those details should not be inferred from the classification.
FoodSafety.gov advises that a recalled food matching the notice should not be opened or consumed. Its general options are to return the product to the place of purchase for a refund or dispose of it in line with recall instructions so nobody consumes it. For this particular event, the FDA entry has no dedicated customer hotline, refund timetable or retailer list. Keep the package identifiers available when asking the seller about the return process; a specific refund deadline has not been established.
Use the recall record and handling guide together
If the product has already been used in the kitchen, FoodSafety.gov also explains that potentially contaminated food can leave germs on utensils and refrigerator surfaces. Its linked guide gives cleaning steps for cookware, counters, shelves and drawers. The recall record is a route to identify the affected lot; the government consumer guide is the route for handling and cleaning advice.
The practical decision starts with the product name, UPC, lot and best-by date together. A matching carton should be set aside from food in use and taken through the seller’s return process or the official disposal guidance. Check the FDA event for updates and follow further company or seller instructions if issued; the record currently supplies no specific refund deadline.
