What it is

Pasteurized cow's milk is milk from cows that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set period to kill harmful bacteria. This process extends its shelf life and makes it safer for consumption. It is the primary source of milk consumed in the United States.

Why it's used

Pasteurized cow's milk is a fundamental ingredient in dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and butter. It is also used as a liquid base, a source of protein and fat, and for its creamy texture in a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, soups, and frozen desserts.

Health notes

Pasteurized cow's milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use. It is a source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. The WHO/IARC has classified dairy products as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), but this is based on limited evidence and the overall dietary pattern is considered important. JECFA has evaluated milk and milk products.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
