What it is

This ingredient is milk that has been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria, then cultured with beneficial bacteria (like those used in yogurt or cheese making). The culturing process can add flavor and change the texture. It is derived from cow's milk, though milk from other mammals can also be used.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured milk for its tangy flavor and to help preserve foods. It is a key ingredient in many dairy products like yogurt, sour cream, and cheese. It also adds moisture and flavor to baked goods and pasta dishes.

Health notes

Organic Cultured Pasteurized Milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products. Consuming dairy products is part of balanced dietary patterns recommended by health organizations.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. People with a milk allergy must avoid this ingredient.
