About this product
Lurpak Unsalted Butter 200 g is a foil-wrapped block of unsalted Danish butter sold in the United Kingdom under EAN 5740900404502.[2][1] Its wrapper lists two ingredients, butter and lactic culture, both marked as milk, declares a minimum fat content of 82% and prints 747 kcal per 100 g with salt below 0.01 g; the same side panel says each pack is crafted from around 4 litres of fresh whole milk.[3] The maker's page for the 200 g block gives the same list and figures.[4] UK wholesaler Bestway gives Denmark as the country of origin and names Arla Foods amba of Viby J and Arla Foods Ltd of Leeds as the manufacturer.[2] Lurpak is a Danish butter brand owned by Arla Foods.[5][6]
Arla replaced its 250 g Lurpak block butters in the United Kingdom with 200 g blocks, which began to appear on supermarket shelves in late April 2023, a 20% cut in weight; the co-operative said the aim was to bring the brand to a more accessible price point.[7] The 250 g unsalted block, EAN 5740900053304, is the earlier size of the same butter.

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Context: 2 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- English wrapper, side panel, photographed 2024: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- Lurpak website, 200 g unsalted article: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- identity · disputed: The Open Food Facts record for this barcode is typed as "Slightly Salted Butter unsalted", 250g, and its selected front (imgid 1) and nutrition (imgid 2) photographs show the Lurpak Slightly Salted block and a salted-butter panel (80% fat, 1.2 g salt); imgid 3 shows an Essential Waitrose salted butter. Only imgid 4 and imgid 5 show this unsalted 200 g wrapper, and they are the only photographs used here
- images · unknown: No photograph of the front of the 200 g unsalted wrapper under this barcode was found with a licence that allows reuse; the Open Food Facts front photograph shows the slightly salted block
- markets · unknown: Searched amazon.co.uk on 2026-09-25 for "Lurpak Unsalted Butter 200g", "lurpak" and "5740900404502"; the search pages came back as empty 202 shells, so the store was read through its product page B0BWYXP7DH, "Lurpak Unsalted Butter 200g" under Grocery › Fresh & Chilled › Dairy › Butter, manufacturer Arla Foods Ltd, Leeds. That listing gives Global Trade Identification Number 15740900108933, not this barcode, and showed no price without a delivery address, so it is not recorded as a listing of this EAN
- identity · unknown: Amazon's listing of the same 200 g unsalted block gives GTIN 15740900108933, a 14-digit code with a different item reference; whether that is a case code or an error in the listing is not stated
- relationships · unknown: Bestway also names Arla Foods Ltd, Leeds, LS10 1AB (Companies House 02143253, Arla Foods Limited, whose registered controller is Arla Foods UK plc); no company page for the UK entity exists here yet, so no GB relation targets it
- relationships · unknown: No public source names the holder of GS1 prefix 574090; the prefix owner edge targets the brand owner and is marked derived
- evidence · stale: Evidence was observed over a year ago; check for newer labels. Historical evidence remains valid.
- schema · schema_gap: Review and assign legacy facts to coherent observations.
