ADVICE

Watch For "Natural Flavor" On Labels

  • Avoid Cabot Creamery products that list "natural flavors" or color stabilizers since those often use oil carriers.
  • Choose purer brands because flavor carriers can introduce seed oils and contamination risks.
ADVICE

Leave Spreadable Butters On The Shelf

  • Don't buy spreadable or "canola" blends like many Land O'Lakes spreadable butters.
  • Real butter spreads from fat composition and doesn't need vegetable oil to be spreadable.
ADVICE

Skip Inconsistent Store-Brand Butter

  • Avoid Walmart Great Value butter because regional variability can mean seed-oil emulsifiers substitute real butter.
  • Don't compromise cellular fats by buying inconsistent, low-fat-content house-brand butters.
