Health notes
Ghee is primarily composed of fat, including saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a traditional food ingredient, ghee is not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. It is generally recognized as safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
