Land O Lakes Official Debunks Butter Shortages

ARDEN HILLS, MINN. – A leading butter supplier is easing supply concerns. Heather Anfang with Minnesota-based Land O Lakes says reports of a holiday butter shortage are false.

She says there was less inventory of butter this year as an industry than last year, but last year was at a really high level. That sparked some of this media around a butter shortage, but she says Land O Lakes prepares all year for the season and the company is ready. Anfang says, “We’ve got product.”

Shortages are nothing new, especially in 2022. But if Land O Lakes has learned anything from the pandemic, the one thing that could make butter harder to find – is panic-buying.
