What it is
From Culture is a type of bacterial starter culture used in food production, particularly for dairy products. These cultures are live microorganisms, usually bacteria, that are intentionally added to foods to help ferment them, creating specific flavors, textures, and preserving the food.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add From Culture to foods like yogurt and cheese to help develop their characteristic tangy flavors and creamy textures through fermentation. It acts as a natural processing aid, contributing to the desired sensory qualities and shelf stability of these products.
Health notes
From Culture ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use in food. The bacteria in starter cultures are often beneficial probiotics, though their viability can be affected by processing and storage. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated starter cultures, and they are widely used globally.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, if the culture is used in a dairy product, the final product will contain dairy.
