Sandwich spread is a prepared savoury spread used as a sandwich filling or topping. The figures shown are based on analysis and manufacturers’ information. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fat, with relatively little protein. Per 100g, it contains 24g of carbohydrate, including 20g of sugars, and 9.8g of fat. Its salt content is 2.2g per 100g.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy for the body. The sugar and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake, particularly when considering the bread and other fillings eaten with the spread. The amount consumed will depend on how much spread is used. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (Analysis and manufacturers' information). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: As Miscellaneous Foods Supplement, 1994 (17-328) with fatty acids from Fatty Acid Supplement, 1998 (17-454).
