Son is allergic to dairy eggs and nuts. He is going to a local secondary school for a taster day and is going to be making flapjacks.
I spoke to the school and it was decided that they would all use stork marg for the cooking... its what MIL uses in his cakes...

anyway while I was checking it out in Tesco's earlier I realised there is two types of Stork... stork pasty in foil and stork in a tub, one of them said it contained buttermilk ..... is this right.. does one contain dairy....
Help...

Yes, the tub one contains buttermilk - this is what I use for baking cakes and scones.

I have never used the other one, but on my tub in the fridge it says the other one is best used for making pastry and shallow frying but does not say what it contains.

I don't think it is dairy free - but not absolutely sure.

I use 'Pure' which you can get at Tesco or Sainsburys in either a soya or sunflower version. It is definitely vegan, so dairy free and is fine for baking with.

found this online...

On the bottom of the tub we have the ingredients which are vegetable oils, salt, buttermilk, emulsifier, flavourings, vitamin E, citric acid, preservative, colour and vitamins A and D.

Soz - have just read the thread properly - I thought you needed a dairy free alternative to Stork. Will the school let your ds take a tub of Pure in to do his baking with?

stork block margarine is dairy free and nut free and can be used in cakes and pastries and biscuits too. contains no buttermilk. Block margarines are hard because they contain no butter milk.
