Great Value Salted Sweet Cream Butter, 16 oz (4 sticks) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Great Value Salted Sweet Cream Butter, 16 oz (4 sticks) by Great Value TREAT — score 45/90.
Two ingredients — cream and salt — which makes this real butter, not a spread pretending to be one. But it's still concentrated dairy fat: 100 calories and 7g saturated fat per tablespoon. Clean, honest, and something to measure, not pour.
Why this verdict
- Two-ingredient list: pasteurized cream and salt — no hydrogenated oils, no emulsifiers, no color added
- Roughly 80% fat by weight, with ~7g saturated fat per tablespoon — indulgent by definition
- Very high calorie density (~100 kcal per tablespoon) with essentially no protein or fiber
- Beats margarine-style spreads on ingredient quality — the trade-off is quantity, not chemistry
Ingredients (2)
- Pasteurized cream (milk) (safe) — The whole product — churned dairy fat. Simple and real, but nearly pure saturated-fat calories.
- Salt (moderate) — ~260mg sodium per packet — sweet AND salty is the palatability play.
