It is gluten-free, kosher-certified and certified plant-based by the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA) which makes it suitable for vegan diets. Country Crock® Plant Butter makes it easier for all onsumers – omnivores and vegans alike – to enjoy the taste of butter with a plant-based, dairy-free option. “We believe that plant-based eating has a positive impact on health and on the environment, and that plant-based food products should taste delicious,” says Brian Orlando, Chief Marketing Officer for Upfield North America, the makers of Country Crock®. “That’s why we set out to make a dairy-free butter that homecooks, chefs and bakers could cook, bake and spread with just like butter.
