Contains 2% Of Less Of: Buttermilk Solids

Buttermilk solids are the dried components of buttermilk, a dairy liquid left over from churning butter. The liquid is typically pasteurized and then dried using methods like spray-drying to create a powder. This process concentrates the flavor and nutrients of buttermilk.

Manufacturers add buttermilk solids to provide a tangy, rich flavor and creamy texture to foods. They are often used in baked goods like biscuits and muffins, as well as in mixes for pancakes, waffles, and desserts. They can also add a subtle browning effect during baking.

Buttermilk solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for buttermilk solids are not widely publicized. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
