It is occasionally difficult to tell from the label whether you are buying margarine or butter. And some margarine contains milk and is therefore not OK for lactose intolerant folks.
But still, I agree this sounds crazy.
- kstrauser 2y agoBut this wasn't margarine. It was butter. The package is labeled Kirkland Signature Butter.
- jvanderbot 2y agoWhere precisely did I go wrong here? We know it's butter, but a consumer might not, therefore a "contains whatever" label is not totally unjustified. Once you accept that as a rule, you have to enforce it. You don't just enforce it where it's ambiguous, you enforce it on all brands.
- pessimizer 2y agoI could believe that "Signature Butter" could be a substance that wasn't butter. It would be dumb, but I wouldn't give you odds it didn't happen if someone claimed it did. So putting milk in the ingredient list at least confirms that yes, this is butter, not "butter."
