Pâte Brisée

Pate Brisee is a 230 g shortcrust pastry dough made primarily from wheat flour and vegetable margarine, placed in the Cereals and Potatoes group of the French PNNS. It bears a Nutri-Score of D and falls into NOVA 4, indicating an ultra-processed product with high saturated fat (11 g per 100 g) and moderate salt (0.82 g per 100 g) but low sugar (1.3 g) and a modest fiber content (1.4 g per 100 g). The dough is marketed as sustainable with RSPO-certified palm oil and contains no animal-derived fats, yet it is not gluten-free, has traces of milk, includes alcohol, and its refined-flour base and additives (E471, E330, E160) limit its suitability for clean-eating or allergy-sensitive diets.
