Product Insights
Olive Spread is a plant-based, vegan margarine-type spread sold by Tesco, classified in the Fat and sauces group of the PNNS. It carries a Nutri-Score of D and falls into the ultra-processed NOVA 4 category, reflecting its high total fat (about 45-50 g per 100 g), a saturated-fat ratio of roughly 24% and a moderate salt level of 1.1 g per 100 g while containing very low sugars. The formulation includes several additives such as emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, E471, and sunflower lecithin, E322), a stabiliser (sodium alginate, E401), a preservative (potassium sorbate, E202), an acidity regulator (lactic acid, E270) and a colour (beta-carotene, E160ai), plus a flavouring.
