Butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, and butter is a source of saturated fat. "Natural flavors" are also considered GRAS by the FDA, meaning they are safe for their intended use. JECFA evaluates specific flavor compounds, but "natural flavors" as a broad category are not typically evaluated as a single entity.
