What it is

Cultured Grade A Pasteurized Milk is milk that has been heated to kill harmful bacteria and then had beneficial bacteria (cultures) added to it. These cultures ferment the milk's natural sugars, creating a tangy flavor and thicker texture. Grade A indicates it meets specific quality standards for milk.

Why it's used

It is the base ingredient for many dairy products like yogurt, kefir, and some cheeses. The culturing process gives these foods their characteristic tartness and creamy consistency, and can also act as a preservative.

Health notes

Cultured milk products are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The fermentation process can increase the bioavailability of some nutrients and introduce beneficial probiotics, which may support gut health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk and milk products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming cultured milk products at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Cultured Grade A Pasteurized Milk is derived from milk.
