What it is
Butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream, which separates the butterfat from the buttermilk. "Organic Grade Aa" indicates it meets USDA organic standards and a high quality grade based on flavor, body, color, and salt content.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add butter for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and ability to contribute to browning and flakiness in baked goods. It is a common fat source in many prepared foods, including baked goods, sauces, and savory dishes.
Health notes
Butter is a food ingredient and not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. It is primarily composed of fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
Allergen info
Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
