UNSALTED SWEET CREAM BUTTER
Summary
This butter is primarily made from cream, which is a high-quality ingredient, but it includes 'natural flavor', a vague term that can obscure the presence of various additives. Despite being a simple product, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of this additive, which limits its score. The lack of harmful seed oils or artificial preservatives is a positive aspect, but the processing level prevents a higher rating.
