What it is

Salted butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream until the milk fats separate from the buttermilk. It consists primarily of butterfat, water, and milk solids, with added salt for flavor and preservation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add salted butter to foods for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and as a source of fat. It is commonly used in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and pastries, as well as in savory dishes and spreads.

Health notes

Butter is a food product, not a food additive, and is regulated by the FDA as a standardized food. It is a significant source of saturated fat; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The salt content contributes to sodium intake; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day.

Allergen info

Butter is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
