Refrigerated butter is mostly safe. The pasteurizing process prevents bacteria in the butter, and then the high fat content is not ideal for bacterial growth. Bacteria on butter would be mostly caused by contamination with other items. For example; E. Coli on butter would be caused by cutting butter with the same knife used to cut meat containing E. Coli.
