What to know about Mother Dairy Salted Butter
Two clean ingredients, 723 kcal per 100 g
Mother Dairy Salted Butter is a pasteurised table butter sold in a 500 g pack. The ingredient list has two items, milk solids and iodised salt, with no percentages declared. It is bought as an everyday spread for toast, sandwiches, burgers and omelettes.
What you get is energy and fat: 723 kcal and 80 g fat per 100 g, with 0.3 g protein, 0.4 g carbohydrate and no added sugar. The cost is on the energy and salt side: 875 mg sodium per 100 g. In a typical 10 g serve that is about 72 kcal, 8 g fat and 88 mg sodium.
The name says pasteurised table butter, and the list matches it: milk solids and salt, nothing else. The pack has no hollow promise and no additive. CleanPlate scores it EA4.
Why Mother Dairy Salted Butter scores EA4
Nutrition is an E because the butter is 80 g fat per 100 g with only 0.3 g protein. Ingredients are an A on milk solids and salt alone, and risk is a 4 on 723 kcal and 875 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein

- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 723 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0.3 g per 100 g and carbohydrate is 0.4 g, so almost nothing is left once the 80 g of fat is counted. No fibre is declared, and the largest protein contributor, milk solids, adds only 0.3 g.
No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel, so nothing lifts the grade. Energy is 723 kcal per 100 g.
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
The list is two items, milk solids and iodised salt. No additive, no flavouring, no hydrogenated fat and no sweetener is listed, so nothing costs ingredient points.
The label makes no promise the list contradicts. Pasteurised table butter is what the ingredients describe, so label integrity is intact and the ingredient grade is the top one.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 875 mg
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy and sodium drive the risk number. Energy at 723 kcal per 100 g and sodium at 875 mg per 100 g are the two parts that count, and together they land on a 4.
Added sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part. The panel prints no saturated fat or trans fat line, so those add nothing to the number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
