Complaints of US butter confusion reported to Consumer NZ

from Checkpoint

It might have been a hot buttery topic of debate around the water cooler as to whether people are a fan of the beige butter from the U.S or the golden variety of New Zealand. But the "which butter's best" debate has now taken a bit more of a serious turn, with complaints now reported to Consumer NZ. Some customers have reported concerns through their "play fair" line, saying they were mislead by the packaging of the imported butter because it looked similar to local brands. Dr Milind Mandlik, a senior lecturer in Marketing at AUT spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
