Brummel & Brown Buttery Spread with Real Yogurt — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Brummel & Brown Buttery Spread with Real Yogurt by Brummel & Brown ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A lab-built butter mimic: refined soybean and palm oils held together with modified starch and emulsifiers, dyed yellow with beta carotene, and dressed up with a splash of yogurt to sound wholesome.

Why this verdict

• Refined soybean + palm kernel/palm oils are the real base, not yogurt
• Modified tapioca starch plus mono & diglycerides and soy lecithin stack emulsifiers and texturizers
• Potassium sorbate preservative and beta carotene added as color
• Built to imitate butter in a factory, not a minimally processed food

Ingredients (13)

• Purified water (safe) — Dilutes the coconut cream; why this is the light version.
• Soybean Oil (moderate) — Refined vegetable oil for body and mouthfeel.
• Nonfat yogurt (cultured nonfat milk) (safe) — The real-yogurt selling point, but only a small fraction of the product.
• palm kernel and palm oil (moderate) — Fractionated tropical oils used for solid, spreadable texture; high in saturated fat and heavily refined.
• modified tapioca starch (moderate) — Processed thickener that gives the glossy body.
• Salt (moderate) — Used in moderation, might exceed necessary amount.
• Mono and Diglycerides (moderate) — Emulsifier that keeps fat evenly dispersed.
• Potassium Sorbate (moderate) — Preservative for shelf life.
• Lactic Acid (safe) — A mild acid for flavor and preservation; safe.
• Lecithin (Soy) (moderate) — Emulsifier that binds fat and water for a smooth texture.
• Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
• Vitamin A palmitate (safe) — Standard fortification to replace vitamin A lost when fat is removed. A nutrient, not an additive of concern.
• beta carotene color (safe) — Natural orange-yellow color.
