What it is
Pasteurized Grade A goat milk is milk from goats that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set time to kill harmful bacteria. Grade A indicates it meets high standards for quality and safety. It is the base ingredient for many goat milk products.
Why it's used
Goat milk is primarily used to make cheese, yogurt, and butter. Manufacturers use it for its distinct flavor and creamy texture, which can add richness to dairy products.
Health notes
Goat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated goat milk products. Some individuals who are sensitive to cow's milk may tolerate goat milk better, though it is still a dairy allergen.
Allergen info
Goat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
