Health notes
As a traditional food ingredient, butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. While JECFA and EFSA evaluate food additives, they do not typically evaluate traditional food ingredients like butter in the same manner. Evidence regarding the overall health impact of dietary fats, including butter, is complex, with current understanding emphasizing the importance of the overall dietary pattern rather than individual nutrients.
