What it is

Butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk. This process separates the butterfat from the buttermilk. It is primarily composed of butterfat, water, and milk solids.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use butter to add rich flavor, moisture, and a tender texture to a variety of foods. It is a common ingredient in baked goods like cakes and brownies, sauces such as hollandaise, and confectionery.

Health notes

Butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a basic food ingredient by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.

Allergen info

Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
