What is in it
Ingredients (as submitted): Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Milk and Skim Milk, Sea Salt and Enzymes.
The statement lists 2 ingredients at the top level, beginning with Cultured Pasteurized Grade a Milk and Skim Milk, Sea Salt and Enzymes.. It has no separate "Contains" line; a major allergen (the nine the FDA requires on labels: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, sesame) may be named inside the ingredients instead. For allergies, read the package: this is the record USDA holds (updated Apr 23, 2026), not the label on the shelf today.
