What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated dairy-alternatives aisle or next to specialty butters, pulled out for a plant-based brunch or baking when you want a butter-like finish. It reads like a clean-label indulgence — creamy, spreadable, and slightly cultured — but the blend of refined oils, emulsifiers and "natural flavors" signals an industrially formulated butter substitute rather than a single-ingredient food.
