Household Ingredients Compared › Ghee (Singapore)

Ghee: what's actually in it?

Ghee is clarified butter: butter heated until the water evaporates and the milk solids separate out, leaving almost pure butterfat. A pure ghee has one ingredient — butterfat, milk fat or clarified butter. That is the whole test on this page: if the list has one ingredient, it is pure ghee; if it has vegetable oil, flavouring or anything else, it is not. Ghee is not the same as butter (butter still contains water and milk solids) and not the same as a ghee-flavoured oil spray.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed where a source states it.

QBB Pure Ghee

Pack size: not stated · Made in: India (as printed)

Ingredients (FairPrice Singapore ingredient section): 100% Pure Butter Oil.

One ingredient. FairPrice describes it as high quality pure butterfat from grass-fed dairy cows, free of artificial colouring, preservatives and other additives (marketing copy, not part of the ingredient list). Origin: India Via: FairPrice SG Allergen: milk Lactose-free (per FairPrice listing)

Leila Pure Ghee

Pack size: not stated · Made in: Malaysia (as printed)

Ingredients (FairPrice Singapore ingredient section): Clarified Butter.

One ingredient. FairPrice describes it as clarified butter made from dairy cow's milk. Origin: Malaysia Via: FairPrice SG Allergen: milk

Amul Pure Ghee

Pack size: not stated · Made in: India (as printed)

Ingredients (Retailer listings (secondary) — SG pack not transcribed; see conflict below): 100% Milk Fat (Clarified Butter) — per Gunma Halal Food / Al Modina listings. A separate Desertcart/Amazon listing gives: WATER BUFFALO AND COW MILK FAT.

Conflict flagged: one set of retailer listings says 100% cow milk fat, another says water buffalo and cow milk fat. Both agree it is 100% milk fat with no vegetable oil, preservatives or added flavour — but whether it is cow-only or cow-plus-buffalo is not settled from these sources, and the SG pack (sold at FairPrice via Dashmesh) must settle it. Amul Pure Cow Ghee is a separate listed variant and is not the same product. Origin: India Allergen: milk Conflict: cow-only vs cow-plus-buffalo

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Amul Pure Cow Ghee — Listed at FairPrice via Dashmesh as a separate variant from Amul Pure Ghee; no ingredient list was retrieved in this pass — do not copy the Pure Ghee list onto it.
Mantova 100% Pure Oil Spray — Ghee Oil With Butter Taste — Listed at FairPrice; described as ghee oil in a spray with a bag-in-bottle system, no propellants — but no ingredient list was retrieved, so it is not panelled as ghee (it is an oil spray, not a jar of ghee).
Great Value Grassfed Ghee Clarified Butter — Mentioned in FairPrice-related search results as a grassfed ghee; no SG verbatim list retrieved.
Swad Butter Ghee — Mentioned in FairPrice-related search results; no SG verbatim list retrieved.
Ghee Luxe (Biskut Disco, Singapore home-based) — Described on social media as 100% clarified butter from premium French butter; a small-batch home seller, no pack list retrieved.
Mustafa / import ghee (other Indian brands) — Sold at Mustafa and import grocers; no list was retrieved in this pass.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100g or per 100ml, as printed by the source. Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Cells marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. No per-100g nutrition panel was verified for any ghee in this pass. Ghee is almost entirely fat by definition, but no fat or saturated-fat figure is quoted here because no printed panel was retrieved — do not borrow a figure from another ghee.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, glucose syrup, maltitol) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk, fructose in fruit).

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

Product	Basis	Energy	Protein	Total fat	Saturated fat	Carbohydrate	Sugars	Sodium (salt equiv.)

How to read a label — the jargon, in plain English

Ghee / clarified butter: Butter heated until water evaporates and milk solids are removed, leaving almost pure butterfat. It keeps at room temperature and has a high smoke point.
Butter oil / butterfat: The fat part of butter, without the water and milk solids; a pure ghee is 100% butter oil.
Danedar: A granular texture in Indian ghee, from the way the milk fat crystallises; a texture description, not an ingredient.
Lactose-free (ghee): Most lactose is in the milk solids that are removed when butter is clarified, which is why ghee is often labelled lactose-free — but the pack claim is what counts, not the general rule.
