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?

3 blocks in one cake does seem a lot....assuming it was a massive cake?

I simply want to make a consumer choice not to use products whose manufacturers have supported the use of this feed additive.

My choice.

Not scaremongering, you do you.

It was four layers but not huge. One block went into the buttercream.

I also get Cravendale milk for over the Christmas period so maybe that will be reduced too, it isn't as yet.

Maybe stay away from spreadable as lurpak has processed pipe to make it spreadable. .
I assume any spreadable will .

Im the same but Kerry good is ment to be the best . Probably too creamy for me . I bought county life the other day .
I think I can get use to that. .

Leave some out and the rest of the block in the fridge .

Why if the use of the additive has no impact on you.

Are you supporting cows rights to fart as much as they wish? More methane for everyone!

I assume all the people who are worried about feed additives are also avoiding nitrates in pork products and all alcohol, which are actual proven carcinogens…

I am. And have found some rather nice nitrate free bacon 🐷

Because I would rather the animals are free to eat what nature designed them to eat. I assume you are contributing to the methane reduction by drastically reducing your meat and dairy intake of course.

Nope I’m happy for Arla to trial other solutions.

That's your choice. It's my choice too. I can't see what you are getting out of being so aggressive towards other people making different choices? What's it to you?

@PolaDeVeboise couldnt help you!! I hate the stuff and have never eaten it!

I’d rather not feed my children milk/butter from cows that are fed this additive - an additive so dangerous that humans have to wear gloves to handle it. An additive that is proven to cause cancer and male infertility in humans. An additive that only had a 90 day trial in cows and in which the ovaries of those cows shrunk.

I’d rather everyone was informed and made their own mind up. It’s no skin off your nose if people choose alternatives is it? Unless of course you happen to be an Arla farmer?

you fon't know what cows are fed.
what supplements (vitamins minerals)
what plants are in their hay or silage.
the odd dog poo

danpak from lidl

Because I would rather the animals are free to eat what nature designed them to eat

that would only work if cattle could roam i a large area. and could only give milk a few months of the year.
meat and milk products would be unaffordable for most people that way.

Yes, I also like this one! Waitrose also have a similar butter in black packaging - think it is ‘Brittany’ butter, or something like that.

How are you informing yourself then?

I have butter on toast, in sandwiches, scrambled eggs, use it for baking, in cooking. Proper butter made with just cream and salt is good for you (alongside full fat yoghurt/milk, nuts, salmon, naturally fatty foods, basically) despite what many people believe. Spreads, however, are not. My FIL who smothers everything in disgusting, fluorescent yellow spreads has high blood pressure...I wonder why!

Processed pipe?. What is that?

I like the Duchy Organic butter from Waitrose, I don’t know if it’s completely separate from the Arla group.

I'm not saying you are scaremongering.
I am saying that those who are making this out to be something that it isn't are scaremongering.
Arla is fine.
Lurpak is fine.
Bovaer does not reach the milk or milk products.
Reducing methane production from farming involving cows is a sensible approach.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
Cake is the one food where calories/fats don't count anyway, right? 😂

They are still free to eat what nature designed them to eat. Do you also realise that nature designed them to produce milk for their calves, and not for us?

Where did you get this particular gem of misinformation then? 🤣
By all means make your own choices, but not based on misinformation and scaremongering.
Bovaer does NOT reach the milk, it's active in the gut and is broken down in the gut.
