# Commission Decision of 18 December 1996 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Directive 96/16/EC on statistical surveys of milk and milk products (Text with EEA relevance) (97/80/EC) (revoked), Division: Rendered butter and butteroil (232):

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.
Status: repealed

Rendered butter: renderd butters have a milk fat content exceeding 85 % by weight. The term frequently covers, in addition to rendered butter as such, a number of other similar dehydrated butters which are known generically under various names, such as ‘dehydrated butter’, ‘anhydrous butter’, ‘butteroil’, ‘butyric fat’ (milk fat) and ‘concentrated butter’.
Butteroil: a product obtained from milk, cream or butter by processes which eliminate the water and the dry non-fat extract with a minimum content of milk fat of 99,3 % of the total weight and a maximum water content of 0,5 % of the total weight.
Also includes ‘ghee’.
To avoid double counting, ‘butteroil’ relates only to direct production from cream.
