Nearly 80k pounds of butter recalled because of missing label "contains milk"

I get when products have something harmful to people like when your favorite brand of ice cream has listeria or something else has e.coli and the product should not be used.

This is just a labeling/packaging issue where there is nothing harmful about the product itself.

Also, how many people with milk issues would be confused by the missing info and think there's a new type of milk free butter?

I would! There isn't a "new milk free butter" e-newsletter I'm subscribed to. I go to the store, see the things in the shelves, read the label, and then buy one that doesn't say milk (or soy) on it. Not being able to have large amounts of milk or soy without shitting myself doesn't mean I'm now on some secret "new non milk foods" subreddit or discord. We don't have a Facebook group that have regular in-person monthly meetings for, and have a yearly conference in San Diego where we all dress up like our least favorite cheeses. It's not an identity for me that I can't have milk or soy, it's an unfortunate biology weirdness that my body forces me to take part in.

Have you ever picked up butter to check if it says milk or not?

Like I get that for plenty of other foods where it is, of course, non-obvious.

But I would assume you know that no package of butter will ever not say milk? (Or if it didn't, it was mislabeled, like in this article?) So that you don't even bother checking?
