What it is

Cultured lowfat milk is made by adding live bacterial cultures to lowfat milk. These bacteria ferment the lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, which thickens the milk and gives it a tangy flavor. This process is similar to how yogurt is made.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured lowfat milk as a base for products like yogurt and sour cream, adding a creamy texture and tangy taste. It also acts as a flavor enhancer and provides a smooth consistency in salad dressings and dips.

Health notes

Cultured lowfat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The live and active cultures it contains are probiotics, which may support gut health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy products. Evidence suggests probiotics can have beneficial effects on digestion, but research is ongoing.

Allergen info

Cultured lowfat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
