What it is
This is milk from cows that has been pasteurized (heated to kill germs) and had some of its fat removed. The 'cultured' part means beneficial bacteria were added to ferment the milk, giving it a tangy flavor and thicker texture, similar to yogurt.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use it as a base for yogurt and other dairy products. Its creamy texture and mild flavor make it a popular choice for snacks, desserts, and breakfast items.
Health notes
Cultured pasteurized reduced-fat milk is a common dairy product. The FDA considers it safe for consumption. Major health organizations like the WHO and EFSA have not specifically evaluated this exact form of milk, but generally recognize the health benefits of dairy products, such as providing calcium and protein. Evidence suggests moderate consumption of dairy is part of a balanced diet.
