Butter Buds food service products are heralded for their performance in a variety of applications throughout the food service industry. Many of our products are especially popular in school and healthcare facilities.

Butter Buds in Schools

School food service managers use Butter Buds Natural Butter Flavored Sauce in place of butter or margarine, to add rich buttery flavor to mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, baked goods, and a host of other offerings. The product is of great benefit to school food service managers in their effort to produce tasty food, within nutritional guidelines and tight budgets. Butter Buds Natural Butter Flavored Sauce serves up buttery flavor with zero fat, zero cholesterol and merely 10 calories per serving. The product is economical and requires no refrigeration.

Cheddar Buds and Alfredo Buds offer school food service managers the ability to add delicious natural cheese flavored sauces to foods, each with only 1 gram of fat per serving. Cheddar Buds can be used to make healthy mac-and-cheese, nachos and dipping sauces. Alfredo Buds is a sure fire favorite on pasta, and poured over vegetables.

Butter Buds also produces the best natural pan and food sprays in the industry.

Buttermist adds delicious butter flavor, with zero calories, fat and cholesterol, to foods with spray-can convenience. Buttermist is so tasty, that not only is useful as a non-stick pan coating, it’s frequently sprayed directly on baked goods, such as rolls and grilled sandwich bread. In fact, one 14 oz. can of Buttermist can produce 500 grilled cheese sandwiches – that are lower in fat, calories and cholesterol than the traditionally made version, and with no brushes to clean. Garlic Buttermist performs similarly, providing natural garlic butter flavor that makes garlic bread, pizza dough and soups taste great, conveniently, and with lower calories, fat and cholesterol. Buttermist and Garlic Buttermist are favored by food service directors for their high, 450° F smoke point – which means less time cleaning burnt pans.

Butter Buds for Health Care

Butter Buds products are also valuable tools for Health Care industry food service directors. The Butter Buds family of natural products are helpful in preparing food for individuals with heart health, weight control and other specific medical concerns. Health Care food service directors tell us that they feel good about being able to provide foods prepared with natural ingredients…and of course, they don’t mind the cost savings either.
