What it is
Active yogurt and probiotic cultures are live microorganisms, typically bacteria, that are added to foods like yogurt and supplements. They are naturally present in fermented foods and are often grown in labs for specific food applications.
Why it's used
These cultures are added to foods to help with fermentation, which can improve texture and flavor. They are most commonly found in yogurt, kefir, and other fermented dairy products, as well as in some dietary supplements and frozen meals.
Health notes
In the US, live and active cultures in yogurt are recognized by the FDA. Probiotic cultures are widely studied, and some research suggests they may support gut health. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated various probiotic strains. Evidence on specific health benefits can vary depending on the strain and the amount consumed.
Allergen info
Active yogurt and probiotic cultures themselves are not typically considered major allergens. However, if derived from dairy, they may contain milk proteins. Gluten is not inherent to these cultures.
