Is Butter Vegan?
CautionButter is typically derived from animals, but can be derived from plants as well. Butter flavoring, including artificial butter flavoring, may contain dairy - if the label is unclear, we reocmmend calling the manufacturer.
Butter and the Vegan Diet
Butter is a solid dairy product made by churning milk or cream to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. It is widely used as a cooking fat, spread, or ingredient in baking. Traditional butter is derived from cow's milk, but plant-based alternatives made from oils such as coconut, olive, or avocado are available for those following a vegan diet.
