Vegemite

Vegemite is an Australian‑made yeast‑extract spread marketed as vegetarian, vegan and halal, containing barley and wheat‑derived extract, salt, malt extract and added vitamins. Nutritionally it provides 174 kcal per 100 g, is high in protein (≈26 g) and fiber (≈9 g) but also very high in salt (8.25 g) and is classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) with a Nutri‑Score of D. While it offers B‑vitamin enrichment and low fat and sugar, the substantial sodium level and presence of gluten make it unsuitable for low‑sodium or gluten‑free diets.
