Dairy Free Butter Spread

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

earth balance Dairy Free Butter Spread scores 47/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

earth balance Dairy Free Butter Spread lists 13 ingredients, starting with Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Safflower Oil, Flax Seed Oil and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 earth balance Dairy Free Butter Spread lands mid-scale — below the typical score in butter & cream, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in butter & cream is Simple Truth Organic Half & Half Milk & Cream at 100/100.
