What it is

A buttermilk blend is a mixture of ingredients designed to mimic the flavor and properties of traditional buttermilk. It often contains cultured skim milk or buttermilk powder, water, and sometimes other dairy or non-dairy components. This blend is used to achieve the characteristic tangy taste and tenderizing effect of buttermilk in baked goods and other foods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use buttermilk blends as a cost-effective alternative to liquid buttermilk, providing a tangy flavor and tenderizing effect in baked goods like biscuits, pancakes, and muffins. They can also be used in dressings, marinades, and dairy-based beverages. The blend helps improve texture and moisture in finished products.

Health notes

Buttermilk blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various dairy components used in these blends. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming buttermilk blends at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Buttermilk blends are derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
