(NewsNation) — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has escalated a recent nationwide recall of 64,800 pounds of butter to a higher risk level.
The risk classification for one of Bunge North America Inc.’s butter products was raised to Class II, which is the second highest warning level due to undeclared milk, which was not listed on the product label.
The FDA did not say whether anyone has been affected in connection with the recall.
In a July 14 report, the FDA said more than 1,800 cases of the NH European Style Butter Blend were distributed at 12 centers across the U.S. and one in the Dominican Republic. The lot code number for the butter is 5064036503.
According to the FDA’s website, a Class II recall indicates “a situation in which use of or 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.”
