What it is
Butterfat milk is the fat component of milk, primarily from cows. It is separated from the other milk solids and liquid during the churning process. This results in a rich, creamy substance with a distinct dairy flavor.
Why it's used
Butterfat milk is used as a source of richness and flavor in many foods. It acts as a fat and provides moisture and a smooth texture in baked goods like croissants and muffins. It is also commonly found in chocolate and snack items like popcorn and peanuts.
Health notes
Butterfat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of saturated fat, and dietary guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk fat, and it is considered a natural component of a balanced diet. High intake of saturated fat has been linked to increased risk of heart disease, but moderate consumption as part of a varied diet is not typically a concern.
Allergen info
Butterfat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
