Miyoko’s Plant-Based Butter Recalled Over E. coli and Mold Concerns
More than 1,300 cases of Miyoko’s Creamery plant-based butter have been recalled after testing found possible contamination with E. coli, yeast and mold. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now given the recall an official risk rating.
Here’s which products are affected, where they were sold, and what to do if you have one at home.
What Product Is Being Recalled?
The recall covers Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter in 8-ounce packages. The company behind the recall is Prosperity Organic Foods Inc., based in Boise, Idaho.
The recall only applies to one specific production lot, not every Miyoko’s product.
How to Check if Your Butter Is Affected
Look for these details on the packaging:
- Product: Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter, 8 oz
- UPC: 857554005773
- Lot code on the retail package: 07871
- Best-by date: November 5, 2026
Retailers may also see lot number 1007871 on the outer shipping cases. Each case holds six 8-ounce packages.
In total, 1,304 cases were recalled, which works out to about 7,824 individual packs.
Which States Are Affected?
The recalled butter was distributed to 10 US states:
- Connecticut
- Florida
- Georgia
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Maryland
- New Hampshire
- New Jersey
- Wisconsin
What Does a Class II Recall Mean?
The company voluntarily started the recall on September 11, 2026. The FDA then classified it as a Class II recall on October 23.
A Class II rating means that using the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems, and that the chance of serious health consequences is considered remote. It’s the middle of the FDA’s three recall categories.
At the time of writing, there have been no public reports of anyone becoming sick from the butter.
Symptoms of E. coli Infection to Watch For
Many types of E. coli are harmless, but some can cause illness. Common symptoms include:
- Diarrhea, which can sometimes be bloody
- Stomach cramps
- Nausea or vomiting
- Mild fever
Symptoms usually appear a few days after eating contaminated food. Most healthy adults recover within a week, but young children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with a weakened immune system face a higher risk of complications.
Contact a doctor if you’ve eaten the recalled butter and develop bloody diarrhea, a high fever, signs of dehydration, or symptoms that don’t improve after a few days.
If you’ve bought Miyoko’s Creamery salted plant-based butter in any of the 10 affected states, check the lot code and best-by date before using it. If it matches, don’t eat it. Return it or throw it away, and contact a doctor if you have symptoms after eating it.
