What to know about Milky Mist Cooking Unsalted Butter
One ingredient, and over half of it saturated fat
Milky Mist Cooking Unsalted Butter is a 200 g block of pasteurised butter with one ingredient on the list: milk fat. It is sold for the kitchen, for cooks who want butter for hot curries and other dishes without added salt.
What you get is simple: 82 g fat per 100 g, no sugar, no carbohydrate and 0.8 g protein, with 730 mcg vitamin A. What it costs is energy and saturated fat: 742 kcal and 52 g saturated fat per 100 g. The pack's 5 g serve has 37 kcal and 2.6 g saturated fat.
The name says cooking butter, unsalted and pasteurised, and the list backs all three: there is only milk fat, no salt and no additive. Nothing on the pack promises more than it delivers. CleanPlate scores it CB5.
Why Milky Mist Cooking Unsalted Butter scores CB5
Nutrition is a C because protein is 0.8 g per 100 g and only vitamin A adds credit. Ingredients are a B for a one-item list, and risk is a 5 on 52 g saturated fat per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 0.8 g per 100 g, and there is no carbohydrate, sugar or fibre. The core nutrition score is zero.
The lift comes from vitamin A, 730 mcg per 100 g, the one micronutrient declared. It is natural to the milk fat and not added.
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, milk fat, so there are no additives, no flavours, no hydrogenated fat and no sweetener. Nothing costs ingredient points.
No label promise is hollow either: unsalted, pasteurised and cooking butter all match the list.
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
- 125 mg
- Saturated fat
- 52 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat drives the risk number: 52 g per 100 g, more than ten times the 5 g high line. A 5 g serve has 2.6 g.
Energy adds to it at 742 kcal per 100 g, 37 kcal per serve. Sodium is 125 mg per 100 g, and sugar and trans fat are both 0 g, so they play no part.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
