How we judge this, and the sources
For oils, nuts and seeds Nutri-Score uses its own table: instead of calories it weighs the share of saturated fat in the fat, plus sugar and salt, against protein and fiber. Calories don't count against them, which is why calorie density is listed as a separate reason.
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on November 1, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.

*Where the vitamin numbers come from
Vitamins and minerals come from the USDA FoodData Central record “Nuts, almond butter, plain, without salt added” (FDC ID 168588, SR Legacy; public domain), checked October 14, 2026; the record was matched to this food by calories, protein and fat. % DV is per serving, against the FDA Daily Values used on Nutrition Facts labels (2,000-calorie diet). The table lists nutrients that reach at least 2% DV per 100 g; the rest are absent or trace. Varieties, seasons and brands differ, and cooking in water leaches some vitamin C and B vitamins.

Almond Butter: swaps and alternatives
No need to swap: almond butter already gets grade A, the top of the scale, and nothing is in the red on the per-100 g traffic light: sugar 4.4 g (red is over 22.5 g), saturated fat 4.2 g (over 5 g) and salt 0 g (over 1.5 g). We only suggest a swap when it fixes a real problem. How we pick swaps.
