Hi, I plan to incorporate grass-fed butter into my carnivore diet, but I noticed on the product label that it contains 3.8g of trans fats per 100 grams. Is it safe to consume? Thank you!

I use quite a bit of butter. I use the Land-o-Lakes brand and just bought my first block of Kerrygold. It was OK but I didn't see enough difference to buy the more expensive brand.

If I'm eating hamburger or ribeye, or a fatty cut of meat I don't eat as much butter. If I eat a leaner cut, like some pork chops, I will use butter as a fat supplement of sorts.

Me personally, I don't see the issue with the butter you are using.

If it’s pure butter then yes it’s fine on carnivore. I eat nearly a stick of butter a day with my meals. I use the cheapest butter I can find that’s pure butter and has nothing added to it.

Yes.

The trans fats in processed foods are artificial trans fatty acids created through an industrial process. If an ingredient list contains "partially hydrogenated _____-oil" in the ingredients, avoid consuming it.

The trans fats in butter are naturally occurring trans fats, produced in the rumen (stomach) of ruminant animals like cows during digestion. They differ chemically from the artificial varieties.
