Summary

This butter is made primarily from cream, a natural and beneficial ingredient, but it includes natural flavor, which lacks transparency and may contain additives. Despite its good macronutrient profile, the product is considered ultra-processed, which limits its health rating. The presence of natural flavor and the high processing level prevent it from achieving a higher score.
