Natural butter flavor is a flavoring agent that mimics the taste and aroma of butter. It is typically made from a combination of natural compounds derived from butter or other natural sources, and may also include other natural flavorings and carriers.

Manufacturers add natural butter flavor to provide a buttery taste without using actual butter, which can be more cost-effective and stable. It is commonly found in snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as in baked goods, sauces, and dairy products.

In the US, natural butter flavor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated flavoring substances. While generally considered safe at typical consumption levels, some individuals may have sensitivities to specific flavor compounds. Evidence regarding significant health effects from typical intake is limited.
