Pasteurized Organic Nonfat Milk and Organic Cream
What is Pasteurized Organic Nonfat Milk and Organic Cream?
Pasteurized Organic Nonfat Milk and Organic Cream are dairy products derived from cows that have been raised following organic farming practices. The milk is pasteurized to eliminate harmful bacteria, ensuring it is safe for consumption.
These ingredients are primarily used in products like ice creams and dairy desserts to provide creaminess and a rich texture. Nonfat milk contributes to a lower fat content while still delivering essential nutrients like calcium and protein. Cream adds richness and a fuller texture but also increases the fat content.
On a label, seeing these ingredients typically indicates that the product is attempting to use higher quality dairy inputs, particularly in terms of organic sourcing and controlled fat content.
Commonly found in: ice cream, yogurt, cheese, cream sauces, custards
Benefits
- High in calcium, which is essential for bone health.
- Contains proteins that are important for muscle repair and growth.
Both milk and cream are recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food products.
Research supports the nutrient benefits of dairy, though there are mixed findings on the impact of dairy fat on cardiovascular health.
As these are animal-derived products, they are not suitable for a vegan diet.
