Butter has recently become quite often faked. Such a product can be called creamy only with very great optimism. Unscrupulous manufacturers add various foreign additives to it in order to save on production.

We study packaging
You can distinguish high-quality natural butter from margarine and a product with foreign additives without special chemical tests and at home. First you need to carefully read the labels on the product packaging - if its fat content is more than 60%, butter is indeed such. If the fat content is lower than the declared percentage, then you have purchased a spread or margarine.
Spread is a product based on vegetable and milk fats, which is a competitor to butter and does not contain cholesterol.
Also, special attention should be paid to the composition of the product - if palm or peanut butter is included in it, then this is not butter. This product should contain only animals, not vegetable fats. The expiration date is also important here: if it is too long, preservatives are definitely contained in the butter, and vice versa, the shorter the expiration date, the less the product of various chemistry and extraneous additives.
