Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk

Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk appears in 323 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.

What the data can answer

Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk appears in 323 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 323 products listing it (mean slot 2.9). Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk usually falls near the top of the captured list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 13.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk spans 79 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with 2% fat yogurt; 2% lowfat yogurt; Annie'S Homegrown, Organic Whole Milk Yogurt, Berry Patch, Berry Patch when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.0/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

79 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 281 of 311 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.

Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
