I'm cooking up a new recipe. What is the best halal salted butter in your opinion?

No, thank you; plus, I heard you charge a ridiculous amount for it.

Aren't they all halal? You don't slaughter the cow in butter production.

What would make butter haram?

Additives from Haram Animals: Some industrial butter or butter blends may contain additives derived from sources that are considered haram. A common example is gelatin, which is often used as a stabilizer or thickener. If this gelatin is sourced from pork, it would make the butter haram.

The butter may have been processed in a facility where it came into contact with haram substances, such as pork products.

For the purposes of the Food and Drug Act of June 30, 1906 (Thirty-fourth Statutes at Large, page 768) “butter” shall be understood to mean the food product usually known as butter, and which is made exclusively from milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter, and containing not less than 80 per centum by weight of milk fat, all tolerances having been allowed for.

A product cannot legally be sold as "butter" or "salted butter" without qualifiers if it contains gelatin, at least not in the United States.

There is more to halal than just the slaughtering process of animals.
This extends into diary production as well.

One article I found suggests that halal butter might not have buttermilk in it.

Which, if true, might be the perfect solution for a recipe I'm trying to make.

What happens if the butter isn't Halal? Will Allah exact revenge?

Good question, I'll look into that, but Allah also forgives those who seek it.

That's like, your opinion, man.
