What it is
Butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream. This process separates the butterfat from the buttermilk, resulting in a solid, fatty spread. The term "hormone-free" on labels typically indicates that the cows were not given artificial growth hormones.
Why it's used
Butter is widely used in cooking and baking for its rich flavor and ability to add moisture and tenderness to dishes. It is a common ingredient in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries, and also used as a spread or in sauces.
Health notes
Butter is a food product, not an additive, and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed as part of a balanced diet. It contains saturated fat, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Regarding the "hormone-free" claim, the FDA has stated there is no significant difference between milk from cows treated with artificial growth hormones (like rBST) and those not treated.
Allergen info
Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
