LONDON - Unilever is running a TV and press campaign for its spread brands stressing their low saturated fat content compared with butter.

The campaign, which adopts the tone of a trade body push, says that it is a ‘big fat lie' that all fats are bad. The ‘big fat truth' is that ‘some fats are essential and you find them in margarine', it adds.

The creative carries branding from Flora, Flora pro-activ, Bertollli and I can't believe it's not butter. It also directs consumers to the website, www.satfatnav.com which has content about the goodness of margarine and a saturated fat calculator.

Over recent years butter brands such as Lurpak and Anchor have grown their share of the yellow fats market at the expense of margarine.

In South America Unilever sells Delicata and Doriana margarines.But they have the fierce competition of Bunge and its brand Soya.
