The Fresno State Creamery is recalling 40 15-ounce containers of Fresno State Butter Spread-Regular that was sold at the Gibson Farm Market and one container that was sold off site.

Those who have purchased the specified butter spread are asked to return all products with the product codes stated above for a full refund at the Gibson Farm Market, the release stated.
