What our research found about plant-based butter & cheese
Plant-based butters, spreads and cheeses are built from oils, starches and nut or oat bases rather than milkfat, so their labels look nothing like dairy butter or cheese. Typical lists start with a cultured nut or oat milk, then coconut, sunflower or other oils, starches or gums for structure, salt and natural flavors. That makes them useful for people avoiding dairy, but it also means the oil choice, the thickeners and the sodium are the points to compare.
Because these products stand in for dairy, check the stand-in claims too: protein and calcium are usually far lower than in dairy cheese, and a “butter” made from oat milk and sunflower oil lists a seed oil that an avoid-list will flag. Compare them with each other, by base (cashew, oat, coconut), oils used, and saturated fat per serving, rather than with dairy.

What to compare
- Base and oils. Cashew, oat, almond or coconut base, and which oils (coconut, sunflower, olive) follow it.
- Thickeners and starches. Starches, gums and natural flavors give structure and flavor; compare how many are used.
- Saturated fat and sodium. Coconut-oil-based products can be high in saturated fat; compare per serving.
- Allergens. Nut, oat and soy bases are common allergen sources; read the allergen statement.

Unknown and stale evidence never passes “Only show matches.” The clean score is strict and needs no setup: nine additive groups on the current label plus verified organic and sourcing claims; without them a product cannot reach 100. It is not a nutrition, allergy, or safety rating.
“Buy on Amazon” opens a reviewed product listing; “Search on Amazon” opens an Amazon search for the product, so pick the exact match yourself. Confirm the package, seller, availability, and current price before checkout. Buying links do not influence ingredient results.
01 · A closer look
Your preferences, explained.
The clean score is strict and needs no setup: nine additive groups not found in a current ingredient statement, plus a verified organic claim (and a grass-fed or pasture-raised claim for animal foods), are needed for 100; a possible match earns half and a missing claim earns nothing. Missing or expired evidence stays unknown. It does not assess nutrition, allergies, contaminants, or safety.
