More than 1,300 cases of Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Butter have been recalled over possible contamination with E. coli, yeast and mold, according to a report posted by the Food and Drug Administration and reported by USA Today.

Prosperity Organic Foods Inc., based in Boise, Idaho, started the voluntary recall on Sept. 11. The FDA classified it as Class II on Oct. 23, a level that means exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, with the chance of serious harm considered remote. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recall, according to USA Today.

The recall began after the Massachusetts-based supermarket chain Market Basket notified customers of high yeast levels that did not meet quality standards, according to USA Today, citing WGRZ. The FDA enforcement report lists yeast, mold and E. coli as reasons for the recall.

Shoppers should not eat the recalled product and should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. For questions about the recall, consumers can contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, E. coli infections can cause severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting, and symptoms can begin several days after exposure. Some strains can cause bloody diarrhea and serious complications, including hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can lead to kidney failure. Young children and older adults are more vulnerable to severe illness, according to the CDC.
