What it is

Pasteurized whole milk is cow's milk that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. It contains all the natural fat, protein, lactose, vitamins, and minerals found in milk. It is the base ingredient for many dairy products.

Why it's used

Whole milk is used in a wide variety of foods for its rich flavor, creamy texture, and nutritional content. It is a key ingredient in cheeses, yogurts, ice cream, and baked goods, contributing to moisture, browning, and overall palatability.

Health notes

Pasteurized whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D, which are important for bone health. The WHO/IARC has classified dairy products as possibly carcinogenic to humans, but this is based on limited evidence and often related to high consumption patterns. JECFA has evaluated milk and dairy products.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Consumers with a milk allergy should avoid pasteurized whole milk and products containing it.
