Has anyone else noticed a weird taste with this recently?

Apparently it was a manufacturing malfunction and they should be removed from the shelf but obviously some tubs are still on sale.

Ive thrown away two tubs this week as I thought the first one was just me.

anyone else

Omgg yes! I thought it must be menopause, it tasted slightly of vomit!

Clover isn’t butter, it’s fakey crap. Just use actual butter

Just came to post this! If you want butter, buy butter. Cover is a horrible, artificial spread.

Here are its ingredients:

Vegetable Oils in varying proportions (Sustainable Palm, Rapeseed), Buttermilk (Milk) (20%), Water, Salt, Natural Flavouring, Colour (Carotenes)

Here are the ingredients of Anchor butter:

Butter (Milk), Salt (1.7%)

I don’t think anybody was asking for alternatives 🙄

Isn't that margarine? Funny how they don't use that name anymore for all the crappy spreadable stuff.

Hi all, yes there was a malfunction in a number of batches, I reported the issue a couple of weeks ago and a number of complaints were in the system. I reported a faint aftertaste of vomit, the customer service advisor nodded his head in knowing agreement 🤣 (obvs I couldn’t see him but you get the drift.

Anyway, they sent me a voucher and I was also able to get a refund at the supermarket so
all good. Shame the PP threw theirs away.

So in summary, it’s not menopause or migraine related, it’s a case of a sh1t product tasting Sh1tter accidentally!

OP called it butter. That's why.
