Summary

This unsalted butter is primarily made from pasteurized cream, which is a high-quality ingredient. However, the inclusion of natural flavorings, which can be vague and potentially include a range of additives, slightly detracts from its overall purity. Despite being a simple product, its classification as ultra-processed limits its score, as processing level considerations are significant in evaluating healthiness.
