What it is

Organic pasteurized cow milk is milk from cows raised under organic farming standards, meaning they are not given antibiotics or growth hormones and are fed organic feed. It is then heated to kill harmful bacteria, a process called pasteurization. This is the same basic milk used for drinking, but often further processed into dairy products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic pasteurized cow milk as the primary ingredient in a wide variety of dairy products. It provides the base for cheeses, yogurts, butter, cream, and ice cream, contributing flavor, texture, and nutritional value.

Health notes

Organic pasteurized cow milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a natural source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Consumers with a milk allergy should avoid products containing this ingredient.
