Costco recalls 80,000 pounds of butter
Costco is recalling over 80,000 pounds of butter due to a missing milk allergen warning on the label. While butter inherently contains milk, FDA regulations require clear labeling for allergens, leading Costco to pull the product as a precaution. FOX 5's Kendall Green has the story.
NEW YORK - A multi-state E. coli outbreak, which includes infections in New York and New Jersey, has been linked to multiple brands of recalled organic whole carrots and baby carrots in the U.S.

The outbreak has sickened dozens of people nationwide and caused at least one death, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Carrots on store shelves right now "are likely not affected but may be in people's homes," the CDC warned.
"If you have any recalled carrots in your home, throw them out or return them to the store," the agency said.

E. coli symptoms
Symptoms of E. coli infection usually start three to four days after eating the bacteria. They include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
People with severe symptoms of an E. coli infection should seek medical attention and tell the provider what they ate, the CDC said. E. coli can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA.
