Calories

Approx. 720 kcal per 100g

Serving

10g (about 1 thin spread on a slice of bread)

Sugar

Less than 0.5g per 100g (negligible, ~0% daily value)

Sat. Fat

About 52g per 100g; ~5g per 10g serving (approx. 26% of daily value per serving of 20g reference is not exceeded, ~26% per 10g)

Very high in saturated fat: about 52g per 100g, so a 10g serving gives roughly 25% of the 20g daily guideline.

Calorie-dense (about 720 kcal per 100g), so portion size matters.

Contains milk, so unsuitable for people with milk allergy or lactose-sensitivity (though lactose content is very low).

Salted varieties add a little sodium; check the label if on a low-sodium diet.

Full Analysis

Ingredients (3)

Pasteurised Cream (Milk)

aka Cream

Butter is almost entirely milk fat, which is high in saturated fat. It is a natural, minimally processed ingredient, and fine in modest amounts, but frequent heavy use can raise LDL cholesterol.

Daily Intake — A 10g serving provides about 5g of fat, roughly 4% of daily saturated fat limit (approx. 5% of the 20g reference).

MODERATE

Salt

aka Table salt

Added in small amounts for flavour and preservation. At typical serving sizes, it contributes very little sodium to the diet.

Daily Intake — About 0.1g salt per 10g serving, around 2% of the 6g daily limit.

SAFE

Lactic Culture (in some varieties)

aka Bacterial cultures

Natural cultures used to develop flavour in cultured butters. They are harmless and are a traditional dairy ingredient.

Daily Intake — No intake concerns.
