What it is

This ingredient is milk from cows that has been pasteurized (heated to kill harmful bacteria) and had some of its fat removed. "Cultured" means that beneficial bacteria were added to ferment the milk, giving it a tangy flavor and thicker texture, similar to yogurt or buttermilk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured pasteurized reduced-fat milk to add a creamy texture and tangy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in dairy products like cheese and yogurt, as well as in baked goods and frozen items where it contributes to moisture and richness.

Health notes

Cultured pasteurized reduced-fat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients found in milk. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products. Consuming dairy products as part of a balanced diet is associated with bone health.

Allergen info

This ingredient is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA.
