Becel Original Plant-Based Spread

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Becel Original Plant-Based Spread scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Becel Original Plant-Based Spread lists 12 ingredients, starting with Canola Oil, Water, Modified Palm Kernel Oil, Salt and Buttermilk Powder. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Becel Original Plant-Based Spread scores worse than most butter & cream we have scored. A higher-scoring option in butter & cream is Organic Valley Organic Grassmilk Half & Half at 100/100.
