What You Should Know

You'd spot this 16 fl oz lowfat buttermilk in the refrigerated dairy aisle at Whole Foods or in your fridge after a baking run — the tangy staple you grab for pancakes, biscuits, or ranch-style dressings. It carries a wholesome, slightly nostalgic comfort-baking vibe, but the ingredient list (milk solids, tapioca flour, locust bean gum, carrageenan and added vitamins) signals a reformulated, convenience-oriented product. Those gums and isolated milk ingredients point to deliberate texture stabilization and extended consistency typical of industrial processing.
