Larsen's Creamery, Inc.: Bulk Salted Butter Recalled Due to Pasteurization Compliance Issue

Agency Publication Date: June 23, 2021

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Larsen's Creamery, Inc. is recalling 798 cases of its Bulk Salted Butter because the pasteurization process for the milk used on April 7, 2021, was found to be out of compliance with safety recording standards. This recall affects 55-pound solid blocks of butter packaged in cartons with plastic liners. Consumers and commercial users should identify if they have the affected product by checking the plant number and specific codes on the packaging labels. Because the pasteurization records did not meet safety requirements, the product must be returned for a full refund.

Risk

The recall was initiated because the High Temperature Short Time (HTST) recording chart was found out of compliance, meaning the facility cannot guarantee the milk used to make the butter was fully pasteurized. Inadequate pasteurization can allow harmful bacteria to survive in the finished product, posing a risk of foodborne illness.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for Bulk Salted Butter (item #502) packaged in 55-pound (25kg) carton cases with a plastic liner.
  2. Verify the label for the following specific identifying codes: '174 S8 4/8/2021', '177 S8 4/9/2021', and 'PLANT NO. 41-41'.
  3. Stop using and do not consume any butter that matches these identifying codes and plant numbers.
  4. Return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Larsen's Creamery, Inc. for further instructions.
  5. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA).
