Cultured Pasteurized Milk
Cultured Pasteurized Milk appears in 3,258 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 Milk appears in 3,258 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 16.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Cultured Pasteurized Milk spans 682 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with 1/2 Cheese Pizza & 1/2 Pepperoni Pizza; 100% Artisan Foods, 100% Tamales, Jalapeno Pepper & Queso Fresco; 100% durum wheat semolina pasta when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 95.7/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
682 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 2446 of 3150 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Cultured Pasteurized Milk
Across the 3,258 products on this site that list Cultured Pasteurized Milk, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
