What it is

Live and active cultures are beneficial bacteria and yeasts that are added to foods, particularly dairy products. These microorganisms are naturally present in some foods and are also intentionally introduced during the fermentation process to enhance flavor, texture, and digestibility.

Why it's used

These cultures are primarily used to ferment dairy products like yogurt and kefir, contributing to their characteristic tangy taste and creamy consistency. They can also be found in some fermented vegetables and probiotic supplements, where they are valued for their potential health benefits.

Health notes

Live and active cultures are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are considered probiotics, which are live microorganisms that may provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts, such as supporting gut health. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have also reviewed the safety and efficacy of probiotics. While generally safe, individual responses can vary, and more research is ongoing to fully understand their long-term effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. However, some probiotic supplements may be produced in facilities that handle allergens, so cross-contamination is a possibility.
