Which? analysis of 52 premium-brand butters and spreads ranks products by healthiness, identifying the least healthy options sold in supermarkets. The assessment compares nutritional content across the range, with some products scoring better than others.
The outlets report that the findings are based on expert review rather than consumer testing, and they present the results in a ranked format. While the Daily Mail and Mail Online use the same underlying research and headline focus on the least healthy items, they also draw attention to “President Butter” as appearing at the top of the least healthy list. Other products in the study are also placed among healthier and less healthy choices, reflecting variation in ingredients and nutrition.
Overall, the reporting highlights that supermarket butter and spread products can differ substantially in nutritional profiles, according to Which?’s comparative analysis. The coverage frames the story as a guide to making more informed choices within a commonly used food category.
