Challenge Butter

Awarded a rating of 1/5 green leaves, the Challenge Butter Challenge and Lawry’s® Seasoned Salt Butter Snack Spread falls short of the cleaner food options we advocate. This product is not organic, which detracts from its overall score, reflecting a preference for food items that support sustainable farming practices and offer a higher nutrient profile. Additionally, the inclusion of genetically modified (GMO) ingredients further reduces its standing on our scale, as we prioritize non-GMO foods for consumers seeking natural genetic integrity in their food choices.

The presence of added sugars contributes negatively to the product’s score. Excessive sugar consumption is a widespread health concern, and our scoring system penalizes products that contribute to this dietary issue. Furthermore, the Challenge Butter contains several additives such as natural flavors and xanthan gum. While these ingredients are commonly used in the food industry, our criteria identify them as potentially harmful, warranting a deduction in the product’s rating.

Canola oil, listed among the ingredients, is another point of contention. Despite its widespread use, canola oil often faces scrutiny due to its typical processing methods and potential health implications, leading us to classify it as a harmful oil in the context of cleaner food options.

The Challenge Butter Challenge and Lawry’s® Seasoned Salt Butter Snack Spread, therefore, garners the lowest possible score on our green leaf rating system. Our analysis of its ingredients and production attributes indicates it does not align with the cleaner, healthier food alternatives we promote. Consumers seeking out food products with minimal processing, organic ingredients, and without GMOs or potentially harmful additives would be advised to consider alternative options that better meet these criteria.
