Wegmans Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter, 1 lb (4 Sticks) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Unsalted Sweet Cream Butter, 1 lb (4 Sticks) by Wegmans TREAT — score 45/90.
Two ingredients: churned cream and a mystery 'natural flavoring' — probably starter distillate to keep the flavor consistent batch to batch. That flavoring is the only asterisk on an otherwise honest stick of butter. It's still nearly pure saturated fat, so treat it like the indulgence it is.
Why this verdict
- Genuinely short list — pasteurized cream plus one flavoring, no emulsifiers or preservatives
- 'Natural flavoring' is undisclosed; the purest butters are cream alone, so this is a small honesty gap in a two-ingredient product
- It's ~80% fat and half of that saturated — 100 calories per tablespoon makes this a portion-control food, not a health food
- Unsalted means zero sodium and full control in cooking and baking
Ingredients (2)
- pasteurized cream (safe) — The butter itself — churned dairy fat. Nutritionally dense in calories and saturated fat, but a real single-source food.
- Natural Flavoring (moderate) — Unspecified flavor system covering for the diluted juice.
