Summary

This product contains a mix of butter and rapeseed oil, with the latter being a highly processed seed oil that can contribute to inflammation. While the butter provides beneficial fats and nutrients, the presence of rapeseed oil and the processed nature of the spread reduce its overall healthiness. The ingredient list is relatively short and free from artificial additives, which is a positive aspect.
