> The box of Unsalted Butter already says "Milk" in the ingredients list. No it doesn't, it says "Cream". That's the issue.

Are there English speaking humans that are deathly allergic to milk who would think that cream is OK? To be clear, I'm fine with the recall because you want stuff like this to have clear lines, I just don't think there is any actual real danger in this case.

  I was once at an event where a mother fed their kid food, and it was approximately this obvious that the food in question contained the thing their kid was allergic to. At least the kid wasn’t deathly allergic.

  If English is not your first language, you may not realize "cream" has milk (arguably) as there are many types of non-dairy creams....

    There are more types of non-dairy milks. I still just can't believe that anyone with a severe milk allergy is going to scarf down "sweet cream butter" and then end up in the hospital and say "If only the label said 'contains milk', I wouldn't be here!"

      They very well might, particularly if English isn't their first language, which is very common. I'm in Texas, so I know how it is - there's a ton of people who don't speak English but have become accustomed to the rules and processes in place and work with those. For example, they can read road signs. If you put up a new road sign that means the same thing as a previous one, they won't be able to read it. If you replace a "Stop" sign with a "Brake" sign, they won't stop. Because they don't read "Stop" - they know the sign means they should stop. I'm sure there's thousands of Americans accustomed to reading the "contains:" label who would be blindsided by this. Particularly because today a lot of, maybe most, "dairy" product don't contain milk.
