Why does Brittany Butter receive a Nutri‑Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm penalises the product for its very high saturated‑fat content (59 g per 100 g) and elevated salt level (2.2 g per 100 g), while it provides minimal protein (0.5 g) and no fiber or sugars, leading to the lowest E grade.

How does the salt content in Brittany Butter affect a hypertensive or low‑sodium diet?

At 2.2 g of salt per 100 g, the butter contributes roughly 35 % of the recommended daily maximum (6 g), which can raise blood pressure and should be limited or avoided by individuals managing hypertension or following a low‑sodium regimen.

Is the milk ingredient in Brittany Butter a risk for people with dairy allergies?

Yes, the product contains cream and is derived entirely from cow’s milk, so it is classified as containing the milk allergen and should be avoided by anyone with a proven dairy allergy or lactose intolerance.

Product Insights

Brittany Butter is a half-salted, spreadable dairy product made from pasteurised cream, lactic ferments and 2.2 % salt, classified in the ‘Fat and sauces’ and ‘Fats’ PNNS groups.

While its rich butter flavour suits traditional cooking, the very high saturated‑fat and salt levels make it unsuitable for low‑fat or low‑salt diets and it should be consumed sparingly.
