What it is
Bifidobacterium lactis is a type of beneficial bacteria, often called a probiotic. It is naturally found in the human gut and is commonly used in fermented foods. It is typically grown in a laboratory setting using specific nutrient broths.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add Bifidobacterium lactis to foods to increase the number of beneficial live bacteria, which is its primary function as a probiotic. It is most frequently found in yogurt and other dairy or non-dairy fermented products like kefir and some juices.
Health notes
Bifidobacterium lactis is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in foods. Some research suggests that probiotics like Bifidobacterium lactis may help support digestive health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated probiotics, but do not set specific numerical limits. While generally considered safe, individual responses to probiotics can vary.
Allergen info
Bifidobacterium lactis itself is not a major allergen. However, it is often added to dairy products like yogurt, which are major allergens.
