Is Butter Milk Free?
AvoidNo. Butter is typically derived from milk, 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 Milk Free Diet
Butter is a widely used dairy product that is created by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. It is a staple in many culinary traditions for its rich flavor and creamy texture. Butter is commonly used in cooking, baking, and as a spread. It can also be made from non-dairy sources, such as plant-based ingredients, which are suitable for those avoiding milk.
