Flora is a historically significant brand of margarine and spreads. Based on the barcode starting with 541 (GS1 Belgium & Luxembourg) but containing Spanish labeling and recycling symbols (Ecoembes), this specific product is part of Flora's extensive presence in the European market.

Originally launched by Unilever in the 1960s as a heart-healthy alternative to butter, the brand's ownership shifted significantly in 2018. Unilever sold its entire spreads division to Upfield, a global leader in plant-based nutrition. Today, Flora is managed by Upfield, which focuses on sustainable palm oil sourcing and plant-based ingredients. Production for the Spanish market is typically handled within European facilities, often in Spain or neighboring countries, to ensure regional supply chain efficiency while maintaining the brand's heritage of cold-pressed oils and high unsaturated fat content.
