Furious Brits have vowed to boycott more than a dozen of the UK's best known brands over fears that certain dairy products are allegedly 'contaminated' with an additive linked to cancer. 

Shoppers say they will avoid milks and butters made by Danish firm Arla after the company announced a trial that would involve giving a feed supplement called Bovaer to its cows.

In a list now circulating widely on social media, consumers are also instructed to avoid Lurpak and Anchor butters - which are both manufactured by the company. 

Others include those that have partnerships with Arla Foods, such as Yeo Valley, as well as major supermarkets like Tesco and Asda who stock own-brand milk supplied by Arla. 

Bovaer, which will be introduced to cattle food, is designed to reduce the amount of methane they produce in digestion, a gas that contributes to climate change. 

But it has been declared a safe additive by both European and UK regulators as it doesn't transfer into milk. 

Experts have also told MailOnline that customers do not have anything to worry about and that concerns about cancer risks are unfounded. 

However, social media is now awash with claims the additive can cause fertility issues and cancer.
