Naturli' Organic Vegan Block — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Naturli' Organic Vegan Block by Naturli' OKAY — score 60/90.
A short, mostly-clean organic butter alternative built from whole-plant oils, but it's still a fabricated fat: 75% fat, 39g saturated per 100g, with an added emulsifier and flavouring.
Why this verdict
- Short, organic, recognisable ingredient list with no artificial colours, preservatives or sweeteners
- But it's a concentrated fat: 75g fat and 39g saturated per 100g
- Contains an added emulsifier (lecithin) and a natural flavouring, so it's a fabricated food, not whole
- Zero protein, zero fibre, near-zero everything except fat — a spread, not a nutrient source
Ingredients (10)
- Organic shea oil (43%) (moderate) — The base fat; a plant oil, fine in small amounts but this is a heavily concentrated saturated-fat source.
- Water (safe) — Added back as a filler/texture agent; harmless but dilutes.
- Organic coconut oil (21%) (moderate) — Whole-plant oil but very high in saturated fat, the main driver of the 39g saturated per 100g.
- Organic rapeseed oil (11%) (safe) — A decent unsaturated cooking oil; notably this is a seed oil despite the brand's 'no seed oils' framing.
- Salt (moderate) — Added for taste and mild preservation. Fine in small amounts but adds to daily sodium.
- Organic almond butter (1%) (safe) — Trace amount of ground almond for flavour; a tree-nut allergen.
- Emulsifier (organic lecithin) (safe) — A common, well-tolerated emulsifier that binds the oil and water; its presence marks this as a processed food.
- Organic carrot juice (safe) — Natural colouring to give the buttery yellow tint.
- ORGANIC LEMON JUICE (safe) — Acidity and a little natural tang; harmless.
- Natural sunflower oil flavouring (safe) — A natural flavouring to mimic butter taste; benign but confirms this is a formulated product.
