Frequently Asked Questions About Becel (Margarine)
Is Becel margarine healthier than butter?
Becel margarine can be a lower-saturated-fat alternative to butter, depending on the specific product. Replacing some butter with a spread higher in unsaturated fats may help reduce saturated-fat intake, but the two are not nutritionally identical.
Can you cook with Becel margarine?
Yes, you can use Becel margarine for some cooking, such as gently sautéing vegetables. Spreadable varieties may contain more water than cooking fats and can splatter or brown quickly, so follow the package’s heat-use guidance.
Can you bake with Becel margarine?
Yes, Becel margarine can work in many cakes, cookies, and other baked goods. Results may differ if you substitute a soft tub spread for butter or a firm baking block, since the water and fat proportions affect texture.
Can you fry food in Becel margarine?
Becel margarine is generally not the best choice for deep-frying. A spread can contain enough water to splatter when heated, and it may brown or burn sooner than a suitable frying oil; check the specific product’s instructions before pan-frying.
Does Becel margarine contain cholesterol?
No, Becel margarine made from plant oils contains no dietary cholesterol. That does not mean every product has the same fat profile: the amount and types of fat vary by variety, so check the nutrition information for the one you use.
What oils are used in Becel margarine?
Becel margarine is made with vegetable oils, but the blend is not identical across products or countries. Some varieties may use different combinations to achieve their texture and intended use, so there is no single oil list that applies to every Becel tub.
Can Becel margarine lower cholesterol?
Regular Becel margarine should not be treated as a cholesterol-lowering treatment. Replacing foods high in saturated fat with unsaturated-fat sources can support lower LDL cholesterol, while any plant-sterol-enriched Becel product is a distinct variety with its own directions.
How long does Becel margarine last after opening?
Becel margarine should be kept covered in the refrigerator after opening and used according to the date and storage directions on its package. Avoid leaving it out for extended periods or introducing crumbs and food particles with a used knife.
Can you freeze Becel margarine?
Yes, Becel margarine can generally be frozen, although thawing may change its texture or make it less smooth. Seal it well, thaw it in the refrigerator, and avoid repeatedly freezing and thawing the same portion.
Why does Becel margarine stay soft in the refrigerator?
Becel margarine can stay spreadable because its blend of vegetable oils is formulated to remain softer at refrigerator temperatures than butter. The exact firmness varies among Becel products, so a particularly soft or firm texture may be normal for that variety.

What is Becel (Margarine)?
Becel margarine is a packaged spread made from plant-based oils, used on bread and in cooking. Unlike butter, it is not made from dairy fat; it is cholesterol-free and provides omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Formulations can vary by market, so check the pack if you need product-specific details.
Its soft, spreadable texture and mild flavour make it easy to use at breakfast or in sandwiches, and it can also be used in some recipes in place of butter. It is mostly fat, with very little protein or carbohydrate, so a thin spread is a practical choice if you want to keep portions modest. Try it on toast with vegetables or a savoury topping.
