What it is
Cultured Grade A Dairy Solids are a dairy product made from milk that has been treated with bacterial cultures. These cultures ferment lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, which changes the texture and flavor of the milk. Grade A refers to the quality of the milk used, based on sanitary standards.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cultured dairy solids to add a creamy texture, a slightly tangy flavor, and to improve the overall mouthfeel of foods. They are commonly found in dairy products like cottage cheese, yogurt, and sour cream, as well as in baked goods and processed cheese.
Health notes
Cultured Grade A Dairy Solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, and EFSA has evaluated specific dairy-derived ingredients. At typical consumption levels, they are considered a normal part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Cultured Grade A Dairy Solids are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
