Flora Removes Dairy From ‘Buttery’ Spread, Making Entire Range Vegan

UK-based spread company Flora has announced that its entire range of spreads will now be dairy-free and vegan, making it suitable for vegans. The well-known margarine brand had previously used buttermilk in its "Flora Buttery" product, but this has now been removed. Flora's parent company Upfield has committed to making all of its brands vegan by 2025, in line with the growing trend of people moving away from dairy for health, ethical, and environmental reasons.

Flora has embraced veganism with its campaign "Skip The Cow" and aims to build a better, plant-based future by offering delicious and nutritious food that is easy, affordable, and better for both people and the planet. This move follows a previous attempt in 2019 to make its entire line plant-based, which was later reversed due to consumer feedback. The dairy industry is associated with ethical concerns, environmental issues, and health problems, such as lactose intolerance, which is prompting more people to seek dairy-free alternatives.
