I couldn't find anything on line (except to note from Tenuva's site that they have unsalted butter with both rabbanut and mehadrin hashgaha, but salted butter only with rabbanut).


I am looking at a block of Tenuva salted butter, which bears the mehadrin
hechsher of Tenuva's own rabbi, R Weitman, and also the hechsherim of the
OU and Chug Chasam Sofer.   I assume Chug Chasam Sofer is a mehadrin-only
hechsher.


Tenuvah unsalted butter is available in 10g, 100g, and 200g packages
with normal hechsher, because it contains shabbat milk.   It's also
available in 10g and 200g with the mehadrin hechsher, and also in 10g
and 100g with the hechsher of Badatz Edah Hacharedit.

Salted butter seems to be available in Israel only in 200g blocks, and
only with normal hechsher, because of the use of shabbat milk.

However the butter sold in the USA, both salted and not, doesn't seem to
have this problem.
