What it is

Butter milk solids are made from the liquid left over after butter is churned from cream. This liquid, buttermilk, is then dried to create a powder. The powder contains concentrated milk solids, including proteins and lactose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add butter milk solids to foods to provide a rich, buttery flavor and to improve texture. They are often used in baked goods, snack seasonings, and processed dairy products.

Health notes

Butter milk solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk derivatives, but specific evaluations for butter milk solids are not widely published. Typical consumption as part of a varied diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Butter milk solids are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
