Question 1

Why does Manteiga Tradicional Com Sal have a Nutri-Score of E and which nutrients are responsible for this low rating?

Accepted Answer

The Nutri-Score is driven by the product's high amount of saturated fat (around 53 g per 100 g) and its relatively high salt content (1.3 g per 100 g), which generate the maximum negative points for saturated fat and a large share of the points for salt. Positive points are limited because the butter contains no fiber, fruit or vegetable content and very little protein, resulting in an overall score that places it in the E grade.

Question 2

How does the salt content in this butter affect people with hypertension or a low-sodium diet?

Accepted Answer

With 1.3 g of salt per 100 g, a typical serving of 20 g already provides about 0.26 g of salt, which is roughly 10% of the recommended daily maximum of 2.3 g. Regular consumption can therefore raise blood pressure in hypertensive individuals, so it should be used sparingly by those on a low-sodium diet.

Question 3

Is the milk ingredient in this butter a problem for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies?

Accepted Answer

The butter is made from pasteurized cream, which contains only trace amounts of lactose, so most people with lactose intolerance can tolerate it in small amounts, but it still contains milk proteins and is not safe for anyone with a true dairy allergy.
