Your sample of three is apparently too small. I just looked at my
package of Trader Joe's unsalted butter and the only listed ingredient
is "pasteurized cream." Then it says "annatto added seasonally,"
which I assume is for coloring as the cows' diets change. So what
others are saying about something added to boost flavor does not apply
universally. I find TJ's unsalted butter to be mildly flavored, but
adequately. -aem
