What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated dairy aisle next to milk and yogurt, often picked up for pancakes, dressings, baking, or a tangy splash in recipes. It gives off a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe—think homemade biscuits and sour-dough pancakes—while positioned as a lighter organic option. The short ingredient list (cultured milks, salt, added vitamins) and expected pasteurization/culturing change texture and flavor but reflect basic processing rather than industrial ultra-processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from cultured organic milks with salt and added vitamins; pasteurization and culturing are processing steps that alter flavor and texture but do not involve extensive industrial formulations or additives typical of ultra-processed foods.
