I'm sort of wondering too if this isn't news telephone where each source is plagiarizing the last.

I found this: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/costco-butter-recall/

That links to the two recall notices. (You have found one already.)

  https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/index.cfm?Product=210580
  https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/index.cfm?Product=210581

The article goes on to say,

> General guidelines from the FDA advise consumers who have purchased any recalled food to dispose of the product or return it to the retailer for a full refund.

Which is a bit of a different statement… general guidelines would have to cover things like a recall for E. coli … and isn't perhaps the best advice here. But I'm wondering, did that get twisted into TFA's

> The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is urging customers to check their refrigerators for specific product codes and to follow its disposal instructions if they find affected butter.

…when no specific urging for this is taking place, which is what I think most readers would think?

(But holy heck. Why do those recall notices not appear on the FDA recalls[1] page?)
