British Salted Creamery Butter — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates British Salted Creamery Butter by The co-operative TREAT — score 47/90.

Two ingredients: butter and salt. That's what butter is supposed to look like — no blended vegetable oils, no emulsifiers, none of the 'spreadable' chemistry that plagues the dairy aisle. It's still a block of saturated fat, so it earns TREAT, not a free pass.

Why this verdict

• Just two ingredients — churned cream and 1.7% salt; a genuinely clean, minimal list
• Roughly 80% fat, about half of it saturated — indulgent by definition, portion size is the whole game
• No emulsifiers, no blended oils, no additives — this is real butter, not a butter-flavored spread
• Salt at 1.7% is standard salting, not a sodium problem at butter-sized servings

Ingredients (2)

• BUTTER (safe) — Real dairy butter, though a minor part of the fat.
• Salt (1.7%) (moderate) — A small amount of added sodium for flavor and shelf life; negligible per typical serving but it does add up if you spread heavily.
