Yes — pure butter is gluten free.

Stick to plain butter or ghee and you are gluten free.

Butter’s ingredient list is simply cream (and sometimes salt). Spreadable butters that mix in canola oil or flavorings are still gluten free most of the time, but flavored garlic breads or honey butter served at restaurants can pick up gluten. Unflavored sticks, cultured butter, and ghee are the safest bets.

• Butter does not naturally contain gluten.
• Compound butters may add bread crumbs or seasoning mixes with gluten.
• Ghee removes lactose for people who are dairy-sensitive.
