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 extends its shelf life and makes it safer for consumption. It is the base ingredient for 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, butter, and ice cream. It provides a creamy texture, rich flavor, and nutritional value to these foods. It is also used in baked goods and beverages.

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. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk and its components. Consuming milk is generally associated with bone health benefits.

Milk is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a milk allergy should avoid consuming pasteurized milk and products derived from it.
