    Default Australians, please help~! Is Better Than Butter for real?

    Have any of you heard of "Better Than Butter"?? I bought some today, and the package says it is made in Australia. The listed ingredients were few and non-animal, but I wanted to learn more about the product. However, I can't seem to find it on the internet anywhere! Is this product for real? Is it really vegan as the ingredients seem to be? Is Korea just making up stuff now? (I live in Korea.)

    Klutz, could list the ingredients listed on the pack?.. That will help us compare it to what we buy. Your concern is valid. But, usually companies list the full set of ingredients and the proportions of each of the contents. Animal products will normally figure in this list. They would not hide it from you, as it is not an sensible customer support.

    ingredients are:

    sunflower oil
    canola oil
    vegetable oil
    water
    salt
    emulsifiers (471t, 322t sunflower lecithin), Vitaminst A D E, flavourt. (t vegetable sources)

    It all sounds vegan to me, but I'm a bit wary of a product that isn't listed anywhere on the internet.

    emulsifier 471 isn't always vegan, and vitamin D is often animal-sourced if it doesn't say it's D2.
