Why People Ask if Butter Cookies Are Halal or Vegetarian
When customers search for halal butter cookies or vegetarian butter cookies, they’re really asking: what’s inside the tin?
In today’s world, transparency matters. Many mass-market cookies contain hidden additives, artificial flavourings, or fats that can raise questions for those with dietary needs. At Lowrey Foods, we believe in keeping things simple and clear.
The Four Core Ingredients in Lowrey Butter Cookies
Our butter cookies are made with only four essential ingredients:
-
42% New Zealand Cultured Butter – real dairy, no substitutes.
-
Flour – wheat-based, providing structure and crispness.
-
Corn Starch – for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
-
Sugar – light sweetness, perfectly balanced.
That’s it. No hidden oils, no artificial flavour enhancers, and no preservatives.
Are Butter Cookies Halal?
The short answer: Yes.
-
Our butter comes from dairy cows — no animal fats, no lard.
-
No gelatine or alcohol-based flavourings are used.
-
Production complies with strict New Zealand food safety standards, which align with halal requirements.
👉 While not formally halal-certified in every region, our recipe contains nothing that would conflict with halal dietary guidelines.
Are Butter Cookies Vegetarian?
Yes — Lowrey Butter Cookies are suitable for vegetarians.
-
No meat, no animal fats.
-
No gelatine, no rennet, no animal enzymes.
-
Dairy butter makes them lacto-vegetarian friendly.
This means anyone following a vegetarian diet can enjoy them confidently.
Common Misconceptions About Butter Cookies
