No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. It sits at the bottom.
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.

Diphosphates (450) cost the most ingredient points. Nature-identical flavouring, lecithin (322), mono- and diglycerides (471) and DATEM (472e) cost further ingredient points.
The name stresses butter, and the share is small, which costs a small label point.
