Reason for recall
Product labeling declared butter as an ingredient, but did not specify that the allergen milk is present in the product.
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
