Dude if you are gonna use that from 15 yrs ago to justify not buying Irish butter you better not leave the house. Can you point to a single case of butter giving a human the disease, nevermind kerrygold? Because lots of studies show that walking, biking, or driving can result in instant death.
15 years ago was the study that proved malformed prions can pass through milk. The length of time since that study was done is irrelevant, the results have been confirmed and still stand today, just like any other study.

The most recent mad cow case in Ireland was THIS YEAR. So all of this is completely relevant. If you're comfortable with the risk, enjoy your butter. Most people don't even know what prions are, so a little education can't hurt.

delicious, but per kerrygold their cattle eat grain about 15-20% of the year. No thanks. I started buying from a true grass fed/grass finished local farmer.
Quick question for you. Grass is seasonal. In the winter there is none in most places. So tell me how you have a cow that is grass fed year round. Hay is not equall to grass.

This butter stinks! Get some melted butter in your clothes, and you won't be able to get rid of the smell for months.
How did you get butter in your clothes? 🧐

Grass fed?
We purchase the cows' milk and cream from the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery.. The milk used to make our products comes from members who are independent owners and operators of dairy farms throughout the state of Vermont. The cows eat varied diets including grass, grains and hay, depending on the season and location.

I'll take that as a mostly no. It's rBST and antibiotic free at least. Okay in a pinch.

Yes, and there are also grass pellets. It's the grass finished part where it gets tricky with some products.

Bent prions can be expressed in milk (https://www.nature.com/news/2005/...031-7.html [nature.com]), so no go for us. Tasty butter isn't worth even a miniscule risk of dying from CJD and Ireland does still have the ocasional mad cow outbreak (1600+ cases since 2001, and one was found this year - the cow wasn't tested until it died, so god knows how much milk it was responsible for while infected).

I look longingly at this butter every time I pass it in costco, but I won't take the risk, no matter how small, because if you're hit, there's no cure and you die within months.
And because of this nonsense I still am not allowed to donate blood (because I grew up in Europe). Reality is that yes that disease was real but if it ever passed to human beings, the number of cases are astronomically low. Fankly, it's a non-issue. And unlike the US, most of Europe tests every single animal being slaughtered. Given there have been recorded cases in the US, it probably is a whole lot more widespread in the US than in Europe due to the lack of testing.

Anyway, best butter on the market. Doesn't beat butter from grass fed cows grazing on the shores, but that even more difficult to find....

And to put your 1600+ cases into prospective, that's less than 2 days worth of COVID-19 deaths in the US alone. Spread over almost 2 decades and hundred of millions of people.

Agreed. I know as may get backlash for saying this, but it's a big whopping $4 off regular price sale of butter - which you still need a membership to purchase. People are really posting anything now on SD which I find very disappointing. These forums were for sharing actual deals and savings on items which otherwise might have gone unnoticed. It should not be for posting every item which is on sale or advertised in a stores circular. I'm all for sharing info with others to save, but the mods need to separate some of these posts out into better categories and not all just under hot deals. Sorry, just had to say it.
It's not really fair to just compare it to Costco's regular price, because at least our Costco does not regularly carry this item, I'd say less than a third of my visits do I find it there. I I have to buy it at whatever grocery when we' re out, and interestingly, Kerrygold butter is the only branded item I can think of that I've found at EVERY grocery place I shop - Costco, Trader Joe's, Safeway and Lucky (esp TJ's mostly has private-label stuff).

Most stores only carry it in 8 oz packages for $4-5 per, which would be $16-20 for the 2-lb box. So the better way I look at the deal is both a headsup that it will be in stock in late Nov, and at a savings of $7-11 or 43-55% off what I freqeuntly pay.

After seeing this thread, i kept my eye out and found it at my costco. By stacking this right next to kirkland signature butter they pretty much negated the effect of this coupon. For $8 KS literally has 4 times the quantity (i realize this butter is claimed to be better)

we buy kirkland organic for making ghee (clarified butter). they are so good.
Earlier we used kerrygold however switched to costco for price point.

Both are equally good !!!!
