What to know about Bertolli Air Fryer Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Pure olive oil, scored on 100 g but used by the spray
A 200 ml (182 g) pressurised can of olive oil, and nothing else: the ingredient list reads Olive Oil. It is made for air fryers, to put an even, thin coat on food so it crisps with little oil, and is bought by people who want to measure oil rather than pour it.
The panel is printed per 100 g, and the numbers are those of any oil: 900 kcal, 100 g fat, 16 g saturated fat, and 0 g protein, carbohydrate, sugar, sodium and trans fat. The serving is a 1/3 second spray of 0.25 g, about 2 kcal. The pack counts 728 such servings in the can, and says 240+ meals at an average of 3 sprays each.
The name and the ingredient list agree: it is olive oil, with no additives. The front promises a light taste, which is about flavour and not calories. The oil is as energy-dense as any other. CleanPlate scores it EB5.
Why Bertolli Air Fryer Olive Oil Cooking Spray scores EB5
Nutrition is an E because oil is all fat with no protein, fibre or minerals. Ingredients are a B for olive oil alone, and risk is a 5 on 16 g saturated fat and 900 kcal per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density

- Energy

01 Nutrition density: why E
The panel shows 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate and 0 g fibre, with 100 g fat and 900 kcal per 100 g. With no protein source and no vitamins or minerals declared, nothing adds to the grade, so it sits at the bottom.
That is true of most cooking oils. The grade says the oil gives energy and fat only, not that it is unusual.
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 B
The list is one item, olive oil. No additive, no flavouring, no preservative and no hydrogenated fat is listed, so nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow either: the olive oil in the name is the only thing in the can, so there are no label deductions.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 0 mg
- Saturated fat
- 16 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is 16 g per 100 g, over three times the 5 g high line, and energy is 900 kcal per 100 g. Those two drive the risk grade up to 5.
Sugar, sodium and trans fat are all 0 g, so they play no part. One 0.25 g spray has about 0.04 g saturated fat, so the grade reflects the oil by weight and not a typical spray.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High saturated fat (16g)
Green flags
