What it is

Pasteurized water buffalo milk is milk from domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) that has been heated to kill harmful bacteria. Water buffalo are found in many parts of the world, and their milk is richer and creamier than cow's milk due to higher fat and protein content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use water buffalo milk to produce rich, creamy dairy products like mozzarella cheese, yogurt, and desserts. Its high fat content contributes to a desirable texture and mouthfeel in these foods.

Health notes

Water buffalo 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 milk and dairy products, and they are considered safe for consumption when properly handled and pasteurized.

Allergen info

Water buffalo milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
