Throw it out: I'm looking at a package of butter (in usa). Made with pasteurized cream and clearly printed on the package: keep refrigerated. Throw out old and buy fresh and for safety, keep it refrigerated.

Agree w Dr. Gordon: While it may not have listeria contamination - if could be infected with other bacteria, viruses or fungi. Take care.
