Butter, Butter, Who's Got the Butter? (It's Not Kirkland Right Now!)

Hold onto your bagels, folks! Kirkland Signature unsalted butter, that buttery, delicious, go-to for so many, has been recalled. Yep, you heard that right - 80,000 pounds of Kirkland Signature unsalted butter have been pulled from shelves due to a potential salmonella contamination.

What's the Big Deal?

Salmonella is a nasty little bacteria that can cause some pretty unpleasant symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. While most people recover without any serious problems, it can be really tough on little kids, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems.

The Details

The affected butter was produced between July 10, 2023, and July 17, 2023, and was distributed to Costco stores across the US. You can spot the bad batch by looking for the "Best By" dates of August 11, 2024, through August 18, 2024.

What To Do If You Have the Butter

Don't even think about trying to make a batch of cookies with this butter! If you've got any of the recalled butter, toss it in the trash! Seriously, don't even try to use it. And don't worry, Costco will give you a full refund.

Avoiding Butter-Related Disasters

To make sure your future buttery adventures are safe, be sure to:

• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat, poultry, and eggs.
• Keep raw butter separate from cooked food.
• Refrigerate butter promptly.
• Cook foods thoroughly.

Staying Safe with the Right Information

This recall is a good reminder that even everyday foods like butter can pose health risks. Stay informed by checking the FDA website, the Costco website, and your local news for updates.

And hey, if you're looking for a substitute for your beloved Kirkland butter, there are plenty of other great brands out there! Just be sure to check for the "Best By" date before you buy. We'll all be back to enjoying our buttery goodness in no time.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, and Keep Spreading the Butter Love!
