REUTS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reuts?
Reuts is a traditionally fermented cultured dairy product made with A2/A2 milk and exclusively cultured with Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri). We make it in small batches using thoughtfully chosen ingredients and traditional fermentation methods.
Is it a yogurt?
In a sense, yes - but not by legal definition.
Reuts is cultured exclusively with L. reuteri, while yogurt is defined under U.S. standards by the use of specific bacterial cultures. Because of that, we describe Reuts as cultured milk, even though it's enjoyed just like yogurt.
Why do you use only one culture?
We chose to culture Reuts exclusively with L. reuteri because it reflects our commitment to simplicity and traditional fermentation. Learn more on our About page.
Is it organic?
Reuts is made with A2/A2 milk. Our Pure Vanilla and True Lemon flavors are sweetened with organic cane sugar, though Reuts is not certified organic.
Is it pastuerized?
We use pasteurized milk, but we do not pasteurize the yogurt after fermentation. This helps preserve the live active cultures that naturally develop during the fermentation process.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes. Reuts is naturally gluten-free.
Is it vegan or dairy-free?
No. Reuts is made with dairy and is not vegan or dairy-free.
Is it safe for kids or during pregnancy?
Reuts is made with pasteurized milk and is part of our family's daily routine. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or introducing any new food to a young child, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider with any specific questions.
