Why could they not apply an amended label to cover the existing "contains" section with the correction to list milk as an ingredient?

I'm sure they could have, and still might.

But, if that's notably more expensive than tossing the butter in the trash, then tossing it in the trash makes sense. We have plenty of milk and cows. We can always make more butter.

You could do that if your objective was to save the butter, but the butter is cheap and quick to replace. The time and labor required to distribute stickers and apply them to 47000 individual boxes--and this is Costco, which stocks by case--is more than it's worth.
