Butter Is Forecast To Be In Short Supply This Winter, As FDA Recalls Brie And Camembert Cheeses Over Listeria Outbreak Fears

Citing a report from Fox Business, food news outlet The Takeout explains that cold storage facilities that hold and chill the butter, are reportedly significantly holding less butter this past August, compared to the same date a year ago.

Five are reasons are being touted as the cause of this:

• Periods of extreme heat nationwide have caused cows to produce less milk
• Cow feed has grown more expensive as the price of corn has risen due to global supply chain disruptions
• The West is dealing with reduced production schedules
• The Midwest is having trouble with maintaining cream supplies for butter making
• The Northeast’s demand for butter is inching up, straining producers’ manufacturing capabilities

‘In real world terms, this is all wreaking havoc on butter prices. While overall grocery prices went up 13.5% in August, butter prices went up an astonishing 24.6%, making it the ingredient that suffered the biggest price hike. And there doesn’t seem to be any relief in sight for the rest of the year,’ The Takeout wrote.

The Takeout suggests that you can freeze butter as well, which can extend its life even further.

Moreover, the outlet does recommend perhaps picking up some extra sticks and containers now rather than later. Of course, not to overdo it either. In short, modest preparation.

However, the outlet did seize the opportunity to plug vegan alternative butters, and highly-inflammatory vegetable seed oils as a replacement to butter.

New Research Further Affirms That Dairy Fat From Milk, Butter, Cheeses Help PREVENT Heart Disease

On top of this, just a few days prior to this butter shortage announcement, the Food and Drug Administration announced a recall of many different brands of Brie And Camembert Cheeses, citing a potential outbreak of listeria.

Food recalls are certainly nothing new and out of the ordinary, but during a time with growing supply chain disruptions and increasing levels of food shortages, it simply adds to the list of more foods that are being taken off of the shelves.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Whether or not this touted butter shortage actually materializes this winter, it would still be prudent to have a little extra on stand-by, as with other food items, as I have been warning about for some time now.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Proverbs 19:15

Don’t let gainsayers convince you not to prepare for a rainy day. Looking well to your going is a good and necessary thing to do (Proverbs 14:15).

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
