Amul Cheese Spread is a popular everyday dairy spread bought for toast, sandwiches, and cooking — but consumers should know it is an ultra-processed food (NOVA 4) carrying a very high sodium load of 900 mg per 100 g (180 mg per 20 g serving), which adds up quickly across a day. The protein content is decent at 11.5 g/100 g, trans fat is zero, and the preservatives used (nisin, sorbic acid) are considered low-risk at permitted levels; however, the emulsifying salts (polyphosphates E452, sodium phosphate E339, sodium citrate E331, and mono-/diglycerides E471) place this firmly in the ultra-processed category and raise specific concerns for people with kidney disease, heart disease, and hypertension. The single most useful thing a consumer should know: the sodium content alone means anyone managing blood pressure, kidney disease, or heart disease should treat this as an occasional rather than daily food.
