Cultured Grade A Ultra-filtered Non Fat Milk

This is milk that has been filtered to remove most of the water and lactose, concentrating the protein and calcium. It is then treated with beneficial bacteria (cultures) to ferment it, similar to how regular yogurt is made. The 'Grade A' designation means it meets U.S. Department of Agriculture standards for quality.

Manufacturers use cultured ultra-filtered milk to create yogurt and yogurt-like products. Its concentrated nature allows for a thicker texture and a more intense milk flavor without adding as much sugar or thickeners. It is commonly found in yogurts and dairy-based beverages.

Cultured Grade A ultra-filtered nonfat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk products, but specific evaluations for this processed form may vary. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
