If not Lurpak, what?

[PolaDeVeboise]

I like the 'white' butter of Lurpak, as opposed to the 'yellow' of most. Can anyone recommend a decent alternative?

What is it about the cow food supplement that bothers you? None of it reaches the milk. I'm delighted, I cant afford Lurpack at normal price, it's been reduced and I've filled my freezer. I think Aldi Nordpack is similar to the spreadable, but not sure what the block equivalent is.

Genuine question, how does it not reach the milk, if the cow is ingesting it?

😄😄😄😄

As an end user for milk products, you have no idea or indeed a right to know what the cattle are fed on. Any milk or milk products you buy could come from an animal that has been fed this additive. To avoid it, you would have to avoid all milk products.

Unfortunately, never going to happen. Just trying to ensure they're as safe as possible.

None of it reaches the milk? Yeah right.
Funny how breastfeeding mothers are told to avoid eating certain foods/drugs because it passes through to the milk and therefore to the baby but no way is this poison reaching the cows’ milk? 🤨

Aldi Nordpak

Luckily we have food standards and it IS the consumer's business if new drugs are introduced to feed.

Surprise, surprise the manufacturer's research claim it doesn't get into the milk but we know they're more than happy to bend the truth or outright lie. They are also prone to paying/donating to researchers/testers to put pressure on them to produce favourable results.

If there's this much of a stink, there will absolutely be independent research carried out.

Time will tell, I guess.

Tesco or Aldi spreadable butter is similar to lurpack ❤️

Article 9 of the Food Information Regulations 1169/2011 imposes no such obligation on the food business operator. We have no right to know what an animal is fed on. For example - with free range hens - you have no idea what they have eaten. A food label must show the ingredients contained in the food you are purchasing but not what the animals themselves ate.

Any seasalt granules butter is usually pale, eg M&S, Waitrose.

Thanks.

Local supermarket giving Lurpack away today to customers. They've got pallet loads to get rid of they were saying.

I think unless/until there is a listing of all products that use Arla the safest thing might be to buy organic butter. Anything organic should be fine.

I think all the (slightly) cheaper (supermarket's own range) of products may quite possibly be Arla.

This is the one for me too. Does the trick.

Theres already worldwide research that proves the safety of this product - but I guess some people much prefer to get their scientific facts from TicTok these days 😂

Another vote for waitrose essential. Their spreadable is whiter than lurpack but different in flavour

If your in Scotland then Grahams butter is exactly like Lurpak , I alternate which I buy dependant on price

Ooooh! I am in Scotland - never had Graham's before!

Definitely has to be President, I've tried all, and nothing tastes better.

Is there a list of all the manufacturers who dont use milk from these cows?

Arla produces all of Waitrose own label products

A block of (organic if you want to definitely avoid Bovaer) salted butter with the ingredients reading cream and salt. I don't understand how people are still eating spreads!

This ^^
