What it is

This ingredient is milk that has been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and then had beneficial bacterial cultures added. These cultures ferment the milk's lactose (sugar) into lactic acid, which gives cultured milk products their characteristic tangy flavor and thicker texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured pasteurized whole milk to add a creamy texture and tangy flavor to foods. It is commonly found in dairy products like yogurt, sour cream, and some cheeses, as well as in baked goods and dips.

Health notes

Cultured pasteurized whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in cultured dairy products may support gut health, though research is ongoing. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar cultured dairy products. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a safe and nutritious food ingredient.

Allergen info

Cultured pasteurized whole milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA.
