What it is

Buttermilk solids are the dried components of buttermilk, a liquid byproduct of butter production. Enzyme-modified cheese is made by using enzymes to break down the fats and proteins in cheese, altering its flavor and texture. Together, they form a concentrated dairy ingredient.

Why it's used

This ingredient is used to add a cheesy flavor and creamy texture to processed foods. It functions as a flavor enhancer and can contribute to the overall richness of a product. It is often found in frozen meals, sauces, and snack foods.

Health notes

Buttermilk solids and enzyme-modified cheese are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are common food ingredients and are not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many dairy-derived ingredients, but specific evaluations for this combined ingredient may not be readily available. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from typical consumption.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
