What it is

Acidophilus and Bifidus are common names for specific strains of beneficial bacteria, often referred to as probiotics. They are naturally found in the human gut and are also present in fermented foods like yogurt. These bacteria are typically grown in a lab and then added to foods.

Why it's used

These probiotic bacteria are added to foods to enhance their perceived health benefits, particularly for digestive health. They are most commonly found in dairy products like yogurt and some ice creams, where they can survive the manufacturing process.

Health notes

Acidophilus and Bifidus are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in food. They are considered beneficial for gut health by many health organizations, though scientific evidence is still evolving. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated probiotics, but do not set specific ADIs for these live cultures. Some research suggests potential benefits for digestion and immunity, but effects can vary by strain and individual.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, these bacteria are often cultured in media that may contain milk or soy, so trace amounts could be present.
