What it is

Cultured milk salt is a type of salt created by fermenting milk with specific bacterial cultures. This process alters the salt's properties, often resulting in a milder, less sharp flavor compared to standard table salt.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured milk salt to add a salty taste and enhance the overall flavor profile of foods. Its unique taste makes it a popular choice in dairy-based products, baked goods, and savory dishes where a nuanced saltiness is desired.

Health notes

In the U.S., cultured milk salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a flavoring agent. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated various salts, but specific evaluations for cultured milk salt are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects, though excessive sodium intake from any source can contribute to health concerns.

Allergen info

Cultured milk salt is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
