Thanks for posting this, altho' my state is not mentioned, this is the EXACT kind of butter we usually buy, unless we get the A & P brand.

They should advertise it as iron enriched and charge extra for it.

So, like, will they melt it down, run a magnet through it, and repackage for sale again?

Or write it off as a business loss and use it balance the books?

Curious minds want to know...

salted stick butter

Yuck. I buy only the unsalted sweet cream butter. When I want the salt sticks, I buy margarine. Margarine for the microwaved carrots, butter for the cookies.
