Bega Cheese wins legal stoush against US food giant Heinz over peanut butter labelling

https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2020-04-14/bega-wins-legal-stoush-against-heinz-over-peanut-butter...

bega should scrap the 'butter' from its jars and put 'paste' back

there is no peanut butter until they breed a peanut cow!

they grind peanuts into a paste, end of story!

Peanut Spread?

[imastawka]

We have hazelnut spread, so why not peanut spread?

I always buy the Bega Peanut Butter, so good on 'em.

Strangely I don't like panut buuter, but I love home made satay sauce using it.

Go figure.

As a kid I used to love peanut butter. Then I used to love peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

I can't even imagine eating peanut butter now that I've entered my dotage, lol...

erk.

If there was a famine on, maybe. Probably.

Seems the inventor used the term butter in his patent application and must have caught on due to the similar appearance ( except colour) to butter and the consumer could i guess relate better as a food rather than using the more accurate paste ( associated with tooth paste) . When there are profits to be made , descriptive technicalities take second place to marketing.   .
