What to know about 4700BC Jumbo Butter Popcorn

Butter in the name, one percent in the bag

A ready-to-eat popcorn made from popped corn (79%) and rice bran oil, finished with butter (1%), salt, rosemary extract, an added colour and butter flavouring. It is sold as a lighter movie-night snack.

Per 100 g it gives 464 kcal, 9.3 g protein and 3.6 g fibre, with 17.9 g fat of which 5.4 g is saturated. Sodium is 336 mg. A 28 g serve is 130 kcal, and the pack holds two servings.

The name promises butter, and the list gives it 1%, with the flavour doing most of the work. CleanPlate scores it [L]DA3.

Does 4700BC Jumbo Butter Popcorn live up to its claims?

The butter in the name is only 1% of the recipe, and the 130 kcal claim covers one serve of two. No palm oil and whole grain claims hold.

  • Product name

    “Butter Popcorn”

    Misleading

    Butter is 1% of the recipe. The butter taste is carried by added butter flavour (natural and nature-identical flavouring substances).

  • On the pack

    “130 KCAL”

    Be careful

    True for one 28 g serve, but the pack holds two servings, and 100 g is 464 kcal.

  • Retail listing

    “Clean, clear, minimal additives”

    Be careful

    The list carries an added colour (INS 100), flavouring and rosemary extract. That is few additives, but not none.

  • Retail listing

    “No Palm Oil”

    Holds

    The only oil listed is rice bran oil.

  • On the pack

    “Whole grain”

    Holds

    Popped corn is 79% of the recipe, with 3.6 g fibre per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 9.3 g per 100 g and fibre 3.6 g, mostly from the corn. In a 28 g serve that is 2.6 g protein and 1 g fibre.

Energy is 464 kcal and fat 17.9 g per 100 g, and no vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade stays low.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

Popped corn (79%) and rice bran oil lead, which is a plain base. Flavouring and a colour (INS 100) cost ingredient points, and the rosemary extract is a natural antioxidant.

Butter is named on the front and in the list but sits at only 1%, which costs ingredient points as a hollow promise and sets the [L].

03 Load risk: why 3

Saturated fat is the largest driver at 5.4 g per 100 g, just above the 5 g high line. Energy is 464 kcal per 100 g and sodium 336 mg.

Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
