What it is

Pasteurized milk is cow's milk that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set period to kill harmful bacteria. This process, called pasteurization, helps make milk safer to drink and extends its shelf life. It is a common ingredient in many dairy products.

Why it's used

Pasteurized milk is used as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. It provides a creamy texture, rich flavor, and nutritional value. It is also used in baked goods and processed foods as a liquid base or to add moisture and richness.

Health notes

Pasteurized milk is a nutrient-rich food, providing calcium, vitamin D, and protein. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers pasteurized milk safe for consumption. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated milk and its components. Consuming milk is generally considered part of a healthy diet by major health organizations.

Allergen info

Pasteurized milk is derived from cows and is one of the FDA's nine major food allergens. It does not contain gluten.
