You might know about the recall, but does someone visiting your house know that? Does a random chef who gets an allergy notification at a restaurant know about the recall? EDIT: Again, people are trained to trust the labels – not to parse the marketing. That's why they exist. If someone in a kitchen says "grab the dairy-free butter", the most accurate way to check is to glance at the "Contains" label. Once that trust is broken, the label is useless.

Well, yes, because 99 percent of people in general know that butter is made from milk, and that includes 100 percent of the people who might visit my house. And if I did somehow have a visitor so profoundly broken that they didn't know it, I would notice that. Also approximately 100 percent of professional cooks know that butter is made from milk.

  The antidote to the "strict rules mean common sense can't be used" is... to use common sense: In this instance to ignore the recall instructions, and don't throw away the butter. Grandparent poster is just throwing all the hypotheticals for the remote chance of "But what if, and if, and if, and if...".

Maybe have people write "milk" on their own packages instead of throwing the butter inside in the trash.

> but does someone visiting your house know that? The butter in my fridge right now doesn't have labels on it. Because I take it out of the box it comes in and put an individual stick in that little covered shelf at the top of the door. My understanding is that that's what that shelf is for, so I suspect that this is a fairly common thing to do.
