What it is

Butter salt is a combination of butter and salt, often used as a flavoring ingredient. Butter is a dairy product made by churning cream or milk. Salt is a mineral, sodium chloride, added for taste.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add butter salt to enhance the flavor of foods, particularly in savory and sweet applications. It is commonly found in snacks like popcorn and nuts, as well as in desserts such as ice cream and chocolate confections.

Health notes

Butter salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a combination of two common food ingredients, butter and salt. While excessive sodium intake can be a health concern, butter salt is used in small amounts for flavor. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated salt and butter separately.

Allergen info

Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Therefore, butter salt is considered a milk allergen. It does not contain gluten.
