What it is

This is butter made from cream that has been pasteurized to kill bacteria and then had a starter culture added to give it a slightly tangy flavor. It is made from the high-fat portion of milk, separated from the skim milk. The cream is then churned until the fat solids clump together, separating from the liquid buttermilk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add butter for its rich flavor and creamy texture, and to help bind ingredients together. It is also used as a cooking fat. Butter is a key ingredient in baked goods, sauces, and as a spread.

Health notes

Organic Grade A Pasteurized Sweet Cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of saturated fat. The WHO has advised limiting saturated fat intake as part of a healthy diet. JECFA has evaluated butter and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Butter is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
