What it is

This ingredient is made from milk that has been pasteurized (heated to kill harmful bacteria) and then cultured with beneficial bacteria. These bacteria ferment the milk sugars, giving it a tangy flavor and thicker texture, similar to yogurt.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy components. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a normal part of the diet.
