What it is

Probiotic cultures are live microorganisms, often bacteria or yeasts, that are thought to provide health benefits when consumed. They are naturally found in the body and in fermented foods like yogurt. For commercial use, specific strains are grown in controlled laboratory settings.

Why it's used

Probiotic cultures are added to foods to potentially enhance their healthfulness, particularly for gut health. They are commonly found in fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir, as well as in some beverages like kombucha and specialized probiotic drinks.

Health notes

In the U.S., many probiotic strains are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Research suggests probiotics may help support a healthy gut microbiome, but effects can vary by strain and individual. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various probiotic strains. Evidence on specific health benefits is still evolving, and not all claims are universally supported.

Allergen info

Probiotic cultures themselves are not typically derived from major allergens. However, the food products they are added to may contain allergens, such as dairy in yogurt.
