Butter: most protein

903 products ranked

Of the 909 products in the butter aisle of USDA's branded food database, Garlic Parm Seasoned Butter by Medlee has the most protein: 7.1 g per 100 g (1.0 g per 14 g serving); the aisle's median is 0 g. It shares that value with 9 other products; ties are listed by fewer calories. 0% of those with a declared serving (0) declare 10 g or more per labeled serving, FDA's "high in protein" line before its protein-quality correction (21 CFR 101.54(b), 101.9(c)(7)). Nine in ten butter products have almost none (under 1 g per 100 g), so this list ranks exceptions, not the aisle.

How this ranking is made

908 products in the aisle declare protein; 903 are ranked, leaving out 1 placeholders with near-zero energy; 4 records above 8.9 g per 100 g (1.25 times the aisle's 99th percentile; a name or brand built on protein, such as protein, skyr or ultra-filtered, is exempt) or whose label declares more protein, fat and carbohydrate than its calories can hold (each rule). Values are per 100 g as each manufacturer submitted them to USDA, one product per UPC (its newest submission that meets the data contract), and one per product sold under several UPCs with the same label. The top 100 are shown; each was read again from USDA's live record at this release, and USDA's corrections are applied.

Download: the top 250 as CSV (CC BY 4.0).

What this ranking does not measure

Taste, price, where it is sold and whether the recipe changed since the manufacturer's last submission. Each product page shows the date of its record.
