What it is

Dried margarine is a powdered form of margarine, a butter substitute. It is made by dehydrating regular margarine, which is typically composed of vegetable oils, water, and emulsifiers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried margarine to add a buttery flavor and richness to dry mixes, such as instant cereals, baked goods, and soup mixes. Its powdered form makes it easy to incorporate and helps extend shelf life compared to liquid margarine.

Health notes

Dried margarine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is composed of ingredients commonly found in margarine, such as fats and oils, which are a source of calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the components of margarine, and they are considered safe for consumption within typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing dried margarine at normal levels.

Allergen info

Dried margarine is not a major allergen. However, depending on the specific ingredients used in its production, it could potentially contain allergens like soy or milk if those were used in the original margarine.
