A Vermont firm has recalled more than 1,700 pounds of butter because it may be contaminated with coliform, a type of bacteria found in fecal matter. Agri-Mark Inc., of Waitsfield, Vermont, recalled 189 cases of Cabot Creamery 8-ounce premium butter made with sea salt. The butter was distributed in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. The recall was issued on 26 Mar and is ongoing. It is classified as the lowest level of recall, Class III, which means it's not likely to cause health problems in people. Consumers should not eat or use the recalled butter, which has a best-by date of 9 Sep. It is identified as lot 090925-055, item 2038. Agri-Mark officials said 99.5% of the potentially contaminated lot was recovered before it was sold to consumers. 17 packages of the butter were sold to consumers in Vermont.
