Walkers Pure Butter Shortbread — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Walkers Pure Butter Shortbread by WALKER'S TREAT — score 45/90.

A genuinely simple four-ingredient cookie, but it's butter, sugar and refined white flour - indulgent, not nourishing.

Why this verdict

• Refined white flour, butter and sugar make up nearly the whole cookie - calorie-dense with little nutrition
• 32% butter means a heavy saturated-fat load per serving
• Sugar with no fiber to slow it down spikes blood sugar fast
• Clean, short, additive-free list keeps it out of engineered/dump territory

Ingredients (4)

• Wheat flour (fortified with calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin) (moderate) — Refined white flour - fiber and most nutrients stripped, then legally re-fortified with a few back; digests fast and spikes blood sugar.
• Butter (32%, from milk) (moderate) — Real dairy butter - a recognizable whole-food fat, but a heavy dose of saturated fat and calories at nearly a third of the cookie.
• Sugar (concerning) — Added refined sugar, listed high - spikes blood sugar with no nutrition.
• Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
