Having lived in NZ for some 25 years I now live in the UK and have for the past 30 years been buying Anchor NZ Butter, hopefully my small contribution will help the NZ economy. However over the last few months the Anchor butter we have bought tastes and smells absolutely ghastly. On checking the packaging we find that the ARLA name appears on the butter packets. On further reading we find that the butter is produced in the UK using UK farms. I find this totally unacceptable, how can the Anchor name be used in this way? On opening the butter it smelt gross and in some ways like unsalted butter. When I went to the Arla website I was gobsmacked at the number of people who have complained about the butter since ARLA have taken over. Surely this is not doing the NZ Anchor name any good? Now where can I buy butter that is naturally made, where the cows are naturally fed and not fed with the rubbis that UK farmers use? I notice from the ARLA website that a number of people have written to ARLA to complain and have been rudely been given an answer that the "receipe is the same". How naive is this? Can someone please answer the problems that keen consumers of NZ Anchor Butter are asking - where can we get good tasting, butter produced using natural ingredients. NZ Anchor Butter has been produced since 1886 or there abuts therefore how can how can Arla market themselves on the basis that they have been making butter for "126 years" this is total misrepresentation and surely is illegal.

Could someone please provide us with relevant answers.

Thank you
