What it is

Cultured milk powder is made by drying milk that has been fermented by beneficial bacteria, often called probiotics. This process gives the milk a tangy flavor and can help preserve it. It is a concentrated form of milk solids.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured milk powder to add a creamy texture, a slightly tangy flavor, and to improve the shelf life of products. It is often found in dairy-based products like cheeses, dips, and baked goods.

Health notes

In the US, cultured milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar dairy ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts.

Allergen info

Cultured milk powder is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
