What it is

Pasteurized cultured milk and cream is a dairy product made by adding a starter culture of bacteria to milk and cream. These bacteria ferment lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid, which thickens the cream and gives it a tangy flavor. It is then pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pasteurized cultured milk and cream as a base for sour cream and cream cheese, adding richness and a characteristic tangy flavor to dips, spreads, baked goods, and savory dishes. Its creamy texture also makes it a good thickener in sauces and soups.

Health notes

Pasteurized cultured milk and cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calcium and protein. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not set specific limits for this ingredient, as it is considered a traditional food ingredient.
