Country Crock ingredients: what's banned overseas?
Parent company: Upfield (formerly Unilever)
About Country Crock
Country Crock is a plant butter and margarine spread brand produced by Upfield, sold at grocery chains and mass retailers across the US. The brand was originally part of Unilever and is one of the best-selling butter substitute brands in the country. Country Crock offers original, churn-style, and plant butter (avocado oil, olive oil, almond) varieties.
Common concerns with Country Crock products
Country Crock Original contains soybean oil, palm oil and palm kernel oil, water, salt, mono and diglycerides, and natural flavors. Mono and diglycerides are partial glycerides used as emulsifiers — they can contain small amounts of trans fats that are not required to be disclosed on nutrition labels under current FDA rules. Palm oil inclusion raises sustainability concerns. The plant butter lines are cleaner than the original margarine-style spread.
