Which nutrients cause this butter to receive a Nutri‑Score of E?

The high saturated‑fat (54 g/100 g), high salt (0.7 g/100 g), and high energy (724 kcal/100 g) generate many negative points, while it lacks positive contributors such as fiber, fruit/vegetable content, and protein, resulting in a score of 23 and a grade of E.

How do the saturated‑fat and salt levels in this butter affect people with diabetes or hypertension?

The large amount of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and the moderate salt contributes to higher blood pressure; therefore individuals managing diabetes or hypertension should limit consumption and balance it with low‑fat, low‑sodium foods.

Is the milk in this butter a concern for individuals with lactose intolerance?

Butter contains only trace amounts of lactose (about 0.8 g per 100 g), so most people with lactose intolerance can tolerate small portions, but those with a severe milk allergy should avoid it because it is derived from milk and is listed as an allergen.

Product Insights

This product is a traditional salted butter made from dairy milk, belonging to the “fat and sauces” family of foods. It carries a Nutri-Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 2, reflecting its minimal processing but a nutritional profile that is high in total and saturated fat (80 g and 54 g per 100 g) and moderate in salt (0.7 g per 100 g). While it contains virtually no sugars and provides a rich buttery flavour, the low protein content and elevated saturated‑fat and salt levels make it less suitable for heart‑healthy or low‑sodium diets.
