What it is
This ingredient is made from milk that has been pasteurized and then cultured. Pasteurization heats milk to kill harmful bacteria. Culturing involves adding specific bacteria or yeasts, which ferment the milk sugars and produce distinct flavors and textures.
Why it's used
Cultured milk ingredients are used to add a tangy, cheesy flavor and creamy texture to foods. They act as a flavor enhancer and contribute to the overall richness of products like pizzas, cheeses, and deli items.
Health notes
Made from cultured pasteurized milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a natural component of many dairy products and is considered safe for consumption. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated dairy components. No specific health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Products made from cultured pasteurized milk will contain milk allergens.
