a) This is beyond stupid. Where do people think butter comes from?

b) Once again, journalistic hatred is insufficient.

On November 7, the FDA classified the recall as Class II, which means it is "a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."

"The symptoms and severity of allergic reactions to food can be different between individuals and can also be different for one person over time," the CDC added. "Anaphylaxis is a sudden and severe allergic reaction that may cause death. Not all allergic reactions will develop into anaphylaxis and more than 40% (2 in 5) of children with food allergies in the United States have been treated in the emergency department."

Why bother with the anaphylaxis section, given that "the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote"? And if someone lactose-intolerant bought butter, then the stomach issues they have after eating it are an individual idiot tax.
