Why does this butter receive a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients drive that rating?

The Nutri‑Score E result is caused by the very high saturated‑fat (56 g per 100 g) and energy (744 kcal) combined with a lack of positive points from protein, fiber or fruit/vegetable content, outweighing its low sugar and salt.

How does the high saturated‑fat content of this butter affect a heart‑healthy or low‑cholesterol diet?

Saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol levels, so people aiming to reduce heart disease risk should limit this butter and consider lower‑saturated‑fat alternatives.

Can this unsalted sweet‑cream butter be used in a ketogenic or low‑carb diet, and is it suitable for vegans or those with lactose intolerance?

Its high fat and very low carbohydrate profile make it keto‑friendly, but because it is derived from dairy cream it contains milk protein and lactose, so it is not suitable for vegans or lactose‑intolerant individuals.
