October 26, 2026 – A separate Miyoko Creamery product action was announced for one lot of Unsalted European-Style Plant Butter after mold complaints. That voluntary withdrawal involves UPC 857554005995, lot 1008243, and a November 27, 2026 best-by date and should not be confused with the Class II recall of the salted butter. [2]

October 23, 2026 – FDA classified the salted-butter action as a Class II recall. FDA defines Class II recalls as situations in which exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. [3]

What Is the Miyoko Vegan Butter Recall?

The recall involves Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter manufactured or distributed by Prosperity Organic Foods Inc.

The recalled product is sold in 8-ounce packages and is refrigerated or frozen. FDA enforcement information identifies the affected product as Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter with UPC 857554005773.

The recall was initiated by the company on September 11, 2026 and classified by FDA on October 23, 2026.

Why Was Miyoko Vegan Butter Recalled?

The salted plant-based butter was recalled because affected product may contain E. coli, yeast, and mold.

Retail recall notices initially focused on potential E. coli contamination, while the FDA enforcement record subsequently described the recall reason as involving yeast, mold, and E. coli. The FDA classified the action as Class II.

Which Miyoko Butter Is Recalled?

Consumers should look for the following identifying information:

• Product: Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter
• Package size: 8 ounces
• UPC: 857554005773
• Retail carton lot: 07871
• Best-by date: November 5, 2026
• Shipping case lot: 1007871

The lot code printed on the individual retail carton may differ from the longer number printed on the shipping case. Both identifiers have been associated with the affected production.

How Much Miyoko Vegan Butter Was Recalled?

FDA recall information lists approximately 1,304 cases of affected product.

The shipping cases contain multiple 8-ounce packages of Miyoko’s plant milk butter. Consumers generally need to identify the product by the UPC, lot information, and best-by date rather than by case information.

Where Was the Recalled Miyoko Butter Distributed?

The recalled salted plant milk butter was distributed in 10 states:

• Connecticut
• Florida
• Georgia
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Iowa
• Maryland
• New Hampshire
• New Jersey
• Wisconsin

Individual retail notices may identify only the states or stores served by that particular retailer. The FDA enforcement information provides the broader distribution associated with the recall.

What Is E. coli?

Escherichia coli, commonly called E. coli, includes many different types of bacteria. Some strains can cause gastrointestinal illness after a person consumes contaminated food or water.

CDC states that symptoms of disease-causing E. coli can include diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever. The severity and type of symptoms depend on the strain involved. [6]

What Are the Symptoms of E. coli Infection?

Common symptoms can include watery or bloody diarrhea and severe stomach cramps. Some people may also experience vomiting or a low fever.

Certain Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infections can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, a potentially serious complication that can cause kidney failure and other health problems. [6]

Have Any Illnesses Been Reported?

No illnesses had been reported in connection with the affected Miyoko salted butter when the recall information was published.

The absence of reported illnesses does not mean recalled food should be consumed. The recall was initiated because the affected product may contain microbial contamination.

Is the October 26 Miyoko Unsalted Butter Withdrawal the Same Recall?

No. A separate voluntary withdrawal announced on October 26 involves Miyoko Creamery Unsalted European-Style Plant Butter.

That product has UPC 857554005995, lot 1008243, and a November 27, 2026 best-by date. The withdrawal was initiated while the company investigates mold complaints. [2]

The October 26 withdrawal should therefore be distinguished from the FDA Class II recall involving the salted 8-ounce butter with UPC 857554005773 and a November 5, 2026 best-by date.

Was There an Earlier Withdrawal of the Salted Butter?

Yes. Before the E. coli recall notices, some retailers reported a September voluntary withdrawal of the same salted butter lot because microbiological testing found high yeast results that did not meet quality standards.

Subsequent retailer notices identified the same salted product for recall because of potential E. coli contamination. FDA later classified the action involving yeast, mold, and E. coli as a Class II recall.

What Does an FDA Class II Recall Mean?

FDA uses three recall classifications to communicate the relative health hazard associated with a recalled product.

A Class II recall applies when use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or when the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. [3]

The classification does not mean every consumer who eats the product will become ill. It describes FDA’s assessment of the potential health risk associated with the recalled product.

What Should Consumers Do With Recalled Miyoko Butter?

Consumers should not eat affected Miyoko’s European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter.

Retail recall notices advise customers to discard affected product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers should check the UPC, lot code, and best-by date carefully because other Miyoko products are not necessarily included in this recall.

Who May Be Affected by the Miyoko Vegan Butter Recall?

Consumers who purchased or ate the affected salted butter could potentially have been exposed to microbial contamination.

People who become ill after eating recalled food may want to preserve purchase records, product packaging, photographs of the lot and best-by codes, medical records, and any leftover product if advised to do so by public health or legal professionals.

What Evidence May Matter in a Miyoko Vegan Butter Claim?

• The recalled Miyoko butter package
• UPC, lot code, and best-by date
• Store receipts or other proof of purchase
• Photographs of the packaging and product
• Medical records documenting symptoms or diagnosis
• Laboratory test results, if available
• Dates the product was purchased and consumed
• Documentation of lost income or other expenses
• Communications with retailers or the manufacturer

Whether particular evidence is necessary depends on the facts of the claimed illness and applicable state law.

Who May Be Liable for an E. coli Foodborne Illness?

Potential liability depends on the source of the contamination and the facts of an individual case. Manufacturers, processors, distributors, retailers, and other companies in the food supply chain may potentially be evaluated.

Possible legal theories can include product liability, negligence, breach of warranty, or other claims recognized under applicable state law. A recall alone does not establish that a particular company is legally responsible for an individual’s illness.

Current Miyoko Vegan Butter Recall and Lawsuit Status

As of October 27, 2026, the documented regulatory action is FDA Recall No. H-0178-2027 involving Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter.

The cited FDA, retailer, and manufacturer-related materials document the food recall and separate product withdrawals. They do not themselves establish liability in any individual personal-injury claim.

Do I Qualify for a Miyoko Vegan Butter Claim?

• Did you eat Miyoko’s European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter from the affected lot?
• Did you develop gastrointestinal symptoms or another medically documented illness afterward?
• Can you identify the recalled product through its UPC, lot code, best-by date, receipt, or packaging?
• Did your illness result in medical expenses, lost income, hospitalization, or other documented losses?

Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can evaluate product identification, exposure, medical evidence, causation, damages, and applicable filing deadlines.
