Costco’s butter recall
MyNorthwest.com says Costco has issued a massive butter recall: Nearly 80,000 pounds were pulled off the shelves. The reason? The label on the butter didn't have a “Contains Milk” warning for allergy sufferers.
Fox Business notes that the recall affected Texas consumers only.
Fox13 Seattle : Even though the recall is just Texas, the issue is countrywide. The recall is a reminder of the importance of allergen labeling across the board.
But Today.com says social media was abuzz with how silly the recall was. Many say it's just a label! It's a real waste.
AOL, on the other hand, thinks that missing allergy labels aren't just minor oversights but critical errors emphasizing consumer safety, especially with common allergens like milk!
