Margarine spread, monounsaturated (70% fat), reduced salt (sodium = 380mg/100g)

A monounsaturated edible oil spread containing approximately 70% monounsaturated edible oils including canola oil, olive oil or blends of monounsaturated oils. Reduced salt content. Contains added vitamins A and D.

I, Na, fat and fatty acids were derived from 3 individual samples of reduced salt monounsaturated table spread (1x Meadow Lea, 1x Coles and 1x Olive grove) purchased in NSW in 2009 (2008 TFA program). Proximates, minerals, vitamins and tryptophan were determined in a composite of 10 purchases of 4 brands (5x Meadow Lea [monounsaturated] 70% fat, 3x Flora [polyunsaturated] 70% fat, 1x Nuttelex [polyunsaturated] 70% fat, 1x Golden Canola [monounsaturated] 55% fat) of reduced salt margarine spread purchased nationally in each state and territory capital city and two regional centres in NSW and QLD (2006 - Key Foods Program). Fat, fatty acids and tocopherols, were determined in the 5 purchases of 70% fat monounsaturated margarine spread in the same program. Cr, I, Mo, Ni, Se, Ca, Cl, Fe, Mn and P were determined in 6 purchases of reduced salt margarine spread purchased in QLD, WA and SA (2004 - 22nd ATDS). As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Se and Zn were determined in 28 composites of 4 purchases of margarine/table spread purchased in four seasons in 7 Australian capital cities (2000 - 20th ATDS). Vitamin D is an average of analytical data available for margarine spreads from the 2006 and 2008 key foods programs. Moisture calculated by difference. Fibre, cholesterol, vitamin C were imputed as 0.
