Is Butter Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Avoid

Butter is typically derived from milk (dairy) and thus contains alpha-gal, but can be derived from plants as well. Butter flavoring, including artificial butter flavoring, may contain milk - if the label is unclear, we recommend calling the manufacturer.

Butter and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Butter is a solid dairy product made by churning milk or cream to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. It is widely used in cooking, baking, and as a spread. Traditional butter is made from cow's milk, but there are plant-based alternatives available for those with dietary restrictions or preferences.
