What it is

Butter margarine blend is a combination of butter and margarine, which is a butter substitute. Margarine is typically made from vegetable oils, water, and emulsifiers. The blend aims to combine the flavor of butter with the spreadability and cost-effectiveness of margarine.

Why it's used

This blend is used to provide a buttery flavor and texture in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries. It can also be used in savory dishes like mashed potatoes or as a spread. Manufacturers use it for its flavor, texture, and often lower cost compared to pure butter.

Health notes

Butter margarine blend is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of fat and calories. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fat blends. Evidence on the health effects of blended fats is extensive, with recommendations generally focusing on moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Depending on the specific margarine used in the blend, other allergens like soy or wheat may be present. Gluten is not typically present unless added as a separate ingredient.
