The butter was distributed in Arkansas, along with Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Products were sold under the Cabot brand as well as store brands for Market Basket, Price Chopper, and Shaw’s.

According to the recall alert, the parent company has identified the cause and has taken the appropriate internal actions to fix it. No other products were affected.

Consumers who purchased butter with the affected lot number should not consume it. The product can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Cabot Creamery, based in Vermont, says the recall is precautionary and reflects the company’s commitment to food safety. The recall was initially issued on March 26, 2025.
