What it is

BHT, or butylated hydroxytoluene, is a synthetic antioxidant. It is a petroleum derivative. BHT is added to foods to prevent fats and oils from becoming rancid, which helps extend shelf life.

Why it's used

BHT is used as a preservative to prevent oxidation in foods containing fats and oils. It is commonly found in cereals, baked goods, snack foods, and processed meats. It helps maintain the freshness and flavor of these products.

Health notes

The FDA considers BHT to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use as a food additive. International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated BHT. Some studies have raised questions about potential health effects, but regulatory agencies generally consider it safe at typical consumption levels. Evidence is mixed, and ongoing research continues.

Allergen info

BHT is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
