At a glance: Miyoko's salted plant-milk butter recall: check UPC 857554005773, lot 07871 or 1007871, November 5 best-by date and affected states.

Which Miyoko's butter is affected?

An October 2026 U.S. food-recall notice concerns Miyoko's Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter, an 8-ounce refrigerated or frozen product distributed by Prosperity Organic Foods. The company initiated the recall on September 11; the Food and Drug Administration classified it as Class II on October 23. The reason listed is possible yeast, mold and E. coli contamination. This is a product-specific alert, not a recall of every butter or every Miyoko's product.

The identifying information is especially important for consumers who purchased the product weeks earlier. The UPC is 857554005773. Retail packaging is associated with lot 07871, while the outer shipping case may show 1007871; the reported best-by date is November 5, 2026. Match the package details rather than relying on a photograph of a similar-looking spread.

Where was the recalled butter distributed?

Reports based on the FDA enforcement record list Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. Distribution to those states does not mean every store in each state sold the affected lot, and a product purchased elsewhere is not automatically part of this specific recall.

The recall involves 1,304 six-unit cases, or 7,824 individual 8-ounce units if each case contained the stated six packages. This is the quantity in the supply-chain recall, not a count of people who became ill. No confirmed illnesses linked to this lot were identified in the consumer reporting reviewed for this article.

What should shoppers do now?

Check the butter in the refrigerator or freezer for the exact UPC, lot and best-by date. Do not consume a package matching the recall identifiers. Follow the seller's return or disposal instructions and avoid passing recalled food to someone else. Wegmans, for example, has a dated retailer notice confirming the product and lot and says customers can bring it to the service desk for a refund.

If the label is damaged or a number is unclear, contact the retailer or manufacturer with the package details before using the product. People experiencing symptoms after eating potentially contaminated food should seek medical advice; this report is not a diagnosis or a substitute for clinical guidance.

What does FDA Class II mean?

A Class II designation indicates that exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or that the probability of serious harm is remote. It is not a declaration that the food is safe to eat. Classification describes the agency's assessment of the recall risk, not a promise about any individual's response.

Recall information can change as companies trace shipments and retailers complete removals. Consumers should use the FDA enforcement listing and their store's recall page for the latest identification details. This article reflects information checked October 27, 2026.
