Baking has become a pandemic hobby for many over the last year and some have recently raised concerns over the texture and consistency of Canadian butter, leading to speculation that palm oil is being added to cow feed.

I’ve found the same with butter over the past few years. I hope this gets backed up by other sources, but if true, it sounds like high time for better regulation of this industry - if they can’t make profit from selling a pound of butter for $5 (which most seem to be priced higher than that now), then something is disastrously wrong.

    Ugh, I try not to use anything with palm oil as an ingredient because of the deforestation - but now I learn they’re feeding it to cows? I thought butter was fine. Damn.
