We Tested Butter From Tesco, Aldi and Lidl & 8 UK Supermarkets | You're Probably Buying the Wrong One
Most British shoppers assume the butter aisle is simple. A block, a tub, a famous name you have trusted for years, and a price that goes up a little every time you look.
But when you turn the packs over and read what is legally allowed to call itself butter, what the percentages actually say, and what has happened to the weight of a standard block, the shelf turns out to be doing considerably more work than it appears to.
In this video, we investigate butter from eleven UK supermarkets and ask one simple question: if the cheap own-label block can beat the famous names in a national taste test, what exactly is the extra money buying?
In this video, you'll discover:
The legal number that separates real butter from the thing sitting next to it
Why four tubs at four very different prices can share the same core recipe
What happened to the weight of a standard block, and how the change was sold to shoppers as a saving
The problem the industry created and then sold you the cure for
Why a proudly British brand on that shelf has just changed hands for nearly a billion pounds
The four checks that settle every decision in that chiller in about ten seconds
Every claim in this video is based on current labels, supermarket listings, company information, public records, or named sources.
At UK Food Exposed, we investigate what British consumers are actually getting for their money, from supermarket shelves to restaurant chains and the heritage brands we grew up trusting. That means giving credit where own-label earns it, as well as pointing at what is going wrong.
