What to know about Milky Mist Salted Butter
Two ingredients, and 52 g of saturated fat
Milky Mist Salted Butter is a pasteurised table butter sold in a 100 g pack. The ingredient list has two items, milk fat and iodised salt, with no percentages declared. People buy it for spreading on bread and parathas and for cooking.
What you get is energy and fat: 723 kcal and 80 g fat per 100 g, with 0 g sugar and 0 g carbohydrate. What it costs is saturated fat at 52 g per 100 g, plus 214 mg cholesterol and 756 mg sodium from the salt. The pack's suggested serve is 5 g, which comes to about 36 kcal.
The pack says Table Butter and Salted, and the list matches. The front also says No Added Colour and Natural Colour with beta-carotene, yet no colour appears in the list. CleanPlate scores it CB5.
Why Milky Mist Salted Butter scores CB5
Nutrition is a C because the only credit is 730 mcg vitamin A per 100 g. Ingredients are a B on a two-item list, and risk is a 5 on 52 g saturated fat per 100 g.

- 723 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
There is no protein or fibre credit: protein is 0.8 g per 100 g and carbohydrate is 0 g. The grade rests on the vitamin A, 730 mcg per 100 g, which adds the only points.
Energy is 723 kcal per 100 g, almost all from 80 g of fat.
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
Milk fat and iodised salt are all that is listed, with no additive, no hydrogenated fat and no sweetener. That keeps the ingredient grade at a B.
No label-integrity points are lost. The declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted because no hydrogenated fat appears in the list. Percentages for the two ingredients are not declared.
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

- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 52 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Saturated fat is the biggest driver: 52 g per 100 g against the 5 g high line. Energy at 723 kcal and sodium at 756 mg per 100 g add to it.
Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither plays a part. In one 5 g serve the figures are about 2.6 g saturated fat, 36 kcal and 38 mg sodium.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
