“Butter is made from cream, which is derived from milk. Not a new truth; it’s never been anything but. B‑but — some people are allergic! And we must protect them. Under the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004, milk is one of nine major allergens that must be explicitly declared — either in parentheses after the ingredient (e.g., ‘cream (milk)’) or in a separate ‘Contains: Milk’ statement. Which is why Costco had to recall 79,200 pounds of butter. A labeling oversight meant that perfectly good and safe butter was placed on the big box store’s shelves without the explicit warning that butter contains milk.” (11/14/25)
