Some fat spreads have been using the term 'butter' when not so
On foot of a complaint indicating some fat spreads were using the term ‘butter’ in marketing materials, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued a guidance note on ‘The Use of the Term ‘Butter’ in the Labelling and Advertising of Fat Spreads’.
The aim of this advice is to ensure consumers are not misled and that when ‘butter’ is used, it actually means, well, butter.
