    costco Customers with dairy allergies may need to check their refrigerators as the retailer recalls 80,000 pounds of butter due to packaging missing the “Contains Milk declaration,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    The recall of 1,300 cases containing 79,200 pounds of butter was initiated Oct. 11 by a wholesaler in Littlefield, Texas, due to an undeclared allergen. FDA records show. The allergen in Kirkland Signature Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter (46,800 pounds) and Kirkland Signature Salted Sweet Cream Butter (32,400 pounds) is milk, the federal agency said.

Federal agency records show the butter was distributed throughout Texas, but which parts were not disclosed.

    It’s also unclear whether any customers had an allergic reaction to the butter.

    USA TODAY contacted Costco on Monday but did not receive a response.

    What to do with recalled butter?

    The FDA did not issue instructions to customers who had already purchased the butter. FoodSafety.gov recommends that people either return the recalled products to the store where they were purchased for a refund or properly dispose of the product so that other people or animals cannot eat it.
