What it is
This ingredient is milk from cows that has been heated to kill harmful bacteria. 'Part-skim' means some of the fat has been removed. It is a common base for many dairy products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use pasteurized milk and part-skim milk as a primary ingredient in cheeses, yogurts, ice cream, and other dairy-based foods. It provides a creamy texture, rich flavor, and nutritional value.
Health notes
Pasteurized milk and part-skim milk are considered safe and nutritious by regulatory bodies like the FDA. They are a natural source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. JECFA has evaluated milk and milk products, and they are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption in the US. Concerns about lactose intolerance or milk allergies are specific to individuals, not a general health implication of the ingredient itself.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. People with a milk allergy should avoid this ingredient.
