What it is

Anhydrous butter oil is a dairy fat made from butter. It is produced by removing water and milk solids from butter, leaving behind a concentrated source of milk fat. This process results in a stable oil with a high smoke point.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use anhydrous butter oil as a fat source and flavor enhancer in a variety of foods. Its rich, buttery taste and stability make it ideal for confectionery, baked goods, and savory snacks. It is often found in chocolates, candies, and popcorn.

Health notes

In the U.S., anhydrous butter oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of saturated fat, and like all fats, should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated butterfat, but no specific health concerns are widely noted at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Anhydrous butter oil is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
