You’ve probably heard about it, since It’s Vegan has been on the shelves for a little while. But I’m giving you a space to read all of the information on I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Dairy-Free Spreads, and for people like you to rate it! And did you know that they offer more than one dairy-free option?
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spreads it on in 2 Dairy-Free Varieties
Interestingly, one variety is boldly labeled “It’s Vegan” while the other carries a friendly “Totally Dairy Free” note right on the package. That’s because both are dairy-free, but only one is vegan.
Technically, they’re margarine, but these days we call the more evolved, non-hydrogenated products like these “buttery spreads.” These spreads have nearly half the fat of traditional butter, but according to the company (it’s an Upfield brand, spun off from Unilever in 2018) they’re still good for cooking and baking. But you tell us how they worked for you in the ratings and reviews below!
It’s Vegan
Vegans might get just one variety, but it’s garnering a lot of media attention, and it’s easier to locate. If your lucky, you might even spot the It’s Vegan miniature from 5 Surprise at a store like Walmart.

Coconut Oil

Orignal vs Vegan
Original tastes much more buttery than Vegan & has become my go-to spread since I’m lactose intolerant.
At first Vegan tasted great. After awhile, it seemed to lose the buttery taste I thought was there. It just doesn’t taste even close to butter in any way.
What's the difference between original and vegan "I can't believe it's not butter?"
Read both labels, I see no difference between these two products, original and vegan. The labels are identical and they taste the same.
Response from Go Dairy Free
I can’t tell you why, but the Original states that it “contains milk.” And the company states that only the Vegan and the Coconut Oil products are dairy free. It might be the natural flavors.
