What it is
Cultured dairy solids are made from milk that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria, similar to the process used for yogurt or cheese. The milk is then processed to remove water and other components, leaving behind concentrated milk solids. This process enhances flavor and texture while preserving the dairy components.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cultured dairy solids to improve texture, add a tangy flavor, and act as a stabilizer in foods. They are commonly found in dairy-based products like ice cream, yogurt, and cheese, as well as in baked goods and sauces where a creamy mouthfeel is desired.
Health notes
Cultured dairy solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of dairy nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Cultured dairy solids are derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
