What it is

Butter powder is made by removing water and milk solids from butter. This process typically involves spray-drying butter to create a fine powder that retains the flavor and fat content of butter.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add butter powder to provide a concentrated butter flavor and richness to foods. It is often used in dry mixes for baked goods, soups, sauces, and snack seasonings where liquid butter is not practical.

Health notes

Butter powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of saturated fat, and like all fats, should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. International bodies such as JECFA and EFSA have evaluated butter and its components, but specific evaluations of butter powder may vary. Current research does not indicate significant health concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Butter powder is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
