Fat spread, reduced fat (41-62%), not polyunsaturated

Reduced-fat spread is a fat-based food used as an alternative to butter. The spread described here is not classified as polyunsaturated, and the figures refer to it as sold. It mainly provides fat, containing 61g of fat and 16g of saturated fat per 100g. It also provides 1.7g of salt and 12mg of vitamin E per 100g.

The reduced-fat description does not mean the spread is low in fat or energy. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. The saturated fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring these in their diet. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (11 samples, 8 products, including I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Utterly Butterly, and own brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
