What it is
This ingredient is milk that has been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and then cultured with live bacteria (probiotics) to give it a tangy flavor and thicker texture. The term 'organic' means it comes from cows raised according to USDA organic standards, without routine use of antibiotics or synthetic pesticides. 'Lowfat' indicates it has had most of its fat removed.
Why it's used
It is primarily used as the base for cultured dairy products like yogurt and kefir, providing a creamy texture, tangy flavor, and beneficial probiotics. Manufacturers use it in smoothies, dips, and other dairy-based beverages and foods.
Health notes
Pasteurized cultured milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. The probiotics it contains are beneficial for gut health, though specific health claims are regulated. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar cultured milk products. Evidence suggests probiotics can support digestive health, but research is ongoing.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. This ingredient is derived from milk.
