Role in food

Butter is a dairy product used primarily for its rich flavor and creamy texture …

What it is

This refers to butter produced from cows that have not been treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), also known as recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST). rBGH is a synthetic hormone used in some dairy herds to increase milk production. "rBGH-free" claims indicate that the milk used to make the butter comes from cows that did not receive this treatment.

Why it's used

Butter is a dairy product used primarily for its rich flavor and creamy texture in cooking and baking. It adds moisture, tenderness, and a desirable mouthfeel to a wide range of foods, including cakes, pastries, breads, and as a spread.

Health notes

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated that milk from cows treated with rBGH is safe to consume. The American Veterinary Medical Association and the World Health Organization have also found no evidence of harm. The "rBGH-free" designation is primarily a marketing choice based on consumer preference rather than a regulatory requirement for safety.

Allergen info

Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
