    No; it doesn't have any real butter in it, but it seems like it does. Crisco is made from hydrogenated oils and artificial flavorings (it's possible that the flavorings they use in the butter flavor could contain a minute amount of dairy products, like whey.  Hopefully this wouldn't be enough to affect your son.  Remember, if dairy is present, then it would be a small amount, and he wouldn't be eating much of the Crisco, because it's only being used as an ingredient in a baked product).  I highly recommend the butter-flavored Crisco for baking; once I tried it, I didn't want to go back to regular Crisco.  I use the butter flavor in my biscuits, and one time my store only had the regular Crisco.  I tried it, hoping it wouldn't make a difference, but it did!  You can definitely tell a difference.
