Costco Recalls 80,000 Pounds of Butter Over Missing Milk Disclaimer

Nearly 80,000 pounds of Kirkland-brand butter sold at Costco has been recalled due to missing allergen labeling for milk, despite butter being a dairy product.

The incident highlights the importance of allergen labeling, even for seemingly obvious ingredients, to protect consumers with allergies.
