Cabot’s parent company is “recalling 189 cases of Cabot’s 8-ounce Extra Creamy Premium Sea Salted Butter” due to fecal contamination, reports CBS News and lots of other outlets, as reported in today’s Journal-Opinion.
The butter comes in cardboard packages containing two 4-ounce sticks.
“ts product code is UPC 0 78354 62038 0, and it was distributed across seven states, including Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Arkansas, the report says.
Vermont’s a good state for avoiding employment scams – PrivacyJournal’s analysis of Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data shows Vermont ranks as the second least risky state in terms of employment scams, just behind Maine.
Vermont performs well in nearly all metrics, including the number of job scam reports, financial losses from scams, the growth rate of reported incidents, and the unemployment rate. Vermont achieved an impressively low vulnerability score of only 6.420 points, with its sole challenge area being the percentage change in total financial losses (2022-2024).
For perspective, California ranked as the most vulnerable state with a score of 65.789 points. California’s higher risk factors include its substantial population and larger immigrant communities, demographics that scammers often target.
The study reveals a pattern where rural states like Vermont consistently demonstrate lower vulnerability to employment scams. See complete details and methodology.
Norwich to welcome grad as new prez – On April 24, Norwich University is set for the inauguration of Lt. Gen. John Broadmeadow as only its 25th President since the school’s founding in 1819.
RFK assassination files to be released – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced that the Trump Administration will release files related to the 1968 assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in the coming days, the White House pool reported April 10.
Gabbard said those papers “have been sitting in boxes in storage for decades. We’ve been scanning – we’ve had over 100 people working around the clock to scan the paper around RFK – Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, as well as Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination,” Gabbard said.
Vermont history leader passes – historian and former Vermont Historical Society Executive Director Michael Sherman died last month at age 81, the VHS reports.
“He was an enormous figure in the world of Vermont history, and for decades played a major role in the scholarship, organization, and study of the field,” the VHS says.
Sherman was VHS’s Executive Director from 1985 to 1995 and remained as editor of our scholarly journal, Vermont History until his passing. In 2004, he co-authored (with Gene Sessions and Jeffrey Potash) Freedom and Unity: A History of Vermont, and was the author of numerous books and articles that explored and enriched our understanding of Vermont’s story.
Beyond VHS, he was a professor of Liberal Studies in the Adult Degree Program of Vermont College of Norwich University / Union Institute & University from 1996 to 2006 and was the Academic Dean of Burlington College in Burlington from 2006 to 2008.
Smart Bassinets for Vermont fentanyl babies – Nurses at UVM Children’s Hospital have trialed a new innovation for infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Their goal: determine whether responsive bassinets – baby beds with built-in technology and sensors designed to help babies relax and sleep longer – could help support opioid-exposed infants and the nurses who care for them.
Researchers found that the use of smart bassinets reduced patients’ average length of stay in the NICU by more than 17%, or between five and six days, and decreased poor sleep scores by more than 41%. The study monitored about 100 infants.
Nurses also reported benefits, with 84% of nurses surveyed reporting the bassinets saved them up to two hours per shift – allowing them to provide more care to patients across the NICU.

And of course I used almost the entire package of this. No fecal matter that I can detect, but I guess that’s the problem. I cooked with it, so I haven’t gotten sick, but STILL. Do we know HOW the contamination occurred?
This has been posted for several hours now, widely reported by the mainstream media and so far I have seen none blaming Trump…wait a few more hours…
This begs the question, “Are Cabot products made in such close proximity to feces that we should be wary of using their products?” I’ll be thinking twice before I put their butter in my shopping basket again.
all products made from cows milk trace their origin to a veritable poop palace…a milking barn…hard to keep them separate.
The coliforms can be from any source. Honestly, it could be soil (literal); it could be from anything, really
Ain’t “diversity” grand??? Sure. If you dont mind whether you live or die, I guess.
Democrats have been pulling illegals and “refugees” out of 3rd world holes by the millions to “tend to the USA workforce” and work for lower wages and especially benefits…..a scenario once termed slavery.
Companies employ underage minors, unvaccinated people, ill people, and people who have no concept whatsoever of modern sanitary practices. Sorry, but DIFFERENT cultures have DIFFERENT standards of living, of safety, of morals and ethics, of most everything.
As a company in radicalized Vermont, I’m betting Cabot was thrilled to give these desperately destitute and largely uneducated folks (somehow our fault, btw) employment opportunity that not only check all the boxes that match the ludicrous p.c. culture here, but it benefits them fiscally as well. A win, win for all. Except maybe those who consume the products they are churning (pun intended) out.
I haven’t a clue what this particular instance of contamination stemmed from, but with recalls of food products galore the last few years, and with similar incidents found to be attributed to dirty hands, filthy work stations, underaged children who know no better, and general unsanitary workers and environments, I’m just taking a guess it might be more of the same.
No more Cabot for me for a long time until the problem is revealed and resolved permanently regardless of whose feelings get hurt.
Growing up in Vermont, Grandpa Jason’s small herd, hand milked by uncles and sometimes myself, delivered by myself, brother and cousins in hand washed quart bottles to family, friends, customers and others in need. No one had stronger hands than my uncles. All of my ten aunts and uncles survived, and many cousins do still. Good old days and memories.
I see these groups of Africans being herded by their handlers around Brattleboro. The handlers dress in black hoodies. It’s time we shine a light on these operations, make em run and hide.
