What it is
Pasteurized organic goat milk is milk from goats raised under organic farming standards, which means they are fed organic feed and not given certain medications or hormones. The milk is pasteurized, a process of heating it to kill harmful bacteria, making it safe for consumption. It is a white liquid produced by female goats.
Why it's used
Goat milk is often used as a base for dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. It can also be found in some baked goods and beverages. Manufacturers use it for its distinct flavor and nutritional profile.
Health notes
Pasteurized organic 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. Some people who are sensitive to cow's milk may tolerate goat's milk better due to differences in protein structure, but it is not a hypoallergenic alternative. The WHO/IARC has not classified goat milk. Evidence on the health benefits of organic versus conventional milk is mixed and ongoing.
Allergen info
Goat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
