Garlic Ghee

Our research notes

What to know before you choose this butter

The maker’s published label lists 2 ingredients, led by clarified butter and garlic. None of the additive groups we check appear on the recorded label, and no added sugars or flavors stand out. For butter, the comparison that matters most is cream first: dairy butter lists cream (often with salt and cultures). A list of oils means a plant-based spread.

• Good signNone of the nine additive groups we check (seed oils, artificial dyes, MSG, artificial sweeteners, carrageenan, artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, corn syrups, banned-abroad additives) appear on the recorded label.
• Good to knowIngredient and allergen statements mention milk. Always confirm the full allergen statement on the package.

Compare this against other butter

• Cream first. Dairy butter lists cream (often with salt and cultures). A list of oils means a plant-based spread.
• Milkfat percentage. U.S. butter is at least 80% milkfat; European-style butters run higher.
• Grass-fed and organic claims. Separate claims. Organic is USDA-certified; grass-fed claims should name a standard or certifier.
