I know this is probably a stupid question but...what is butter fat, does it contain milk?

Someone just gave me a choccy bar saying I got dark chocolate especially so you can eat it. So you know how it goes, you read the label anyway, knowing dark chocolate doesn't always mean milk free. The allergy info says may contain traces of milk. I'm thinking it would say contains milk if butter fat actually does, but then I don't want to risk it and be ill. I know we can have cocoa butter, as that's not actually butter, but this one's stumped me.

Thank you!

Yes butter fat is dairy. Some dark chocolate - well most actaully- contain butter fat and are off limits for me. I am lactose intolerant.
