What it is

Butter concentrate is a dairy product made by removing water and milk solids from butter. This process intensifies the butter flavor and aroma. It is typically made from cow's milk.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated butter and its components, but specific evaluations for 'butter concentrate' as a distinct ingredient may vary.
