Pasteurized Cultured Milk
Pasteurized Cultured Milk appears in 647 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
Pasteurized Cultured Milk appears in 647 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.

How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 18.4% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Pasteurized Cultured Milk spans 194 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with 1 slice hard salami 2 slices mild cheddar cheese; 100% Smooth Fruit Yogurt, Pear + Blueberry Baby Brekkie; 12 Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
194 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 507 of 620 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 Pasteurized Cultured Milk
