Certified Organic Grade A Reduced Fat Milk

Reduced fat milk is cow's milk that has had some of its fat removed, typically to 2% fat content. 'Grade A' indicates it meets federal standards for quality and sanitation, making it suitable for fluid consumption. 'Organic' means the milk comes from cows raised according to USDA organic standards, which include specific feed, living conditions, and no synthetic hormones or certain pesticides.

Reduced fat milk is widely consumed as a beverage on its own. It is also used as an ingredient in many food products, including cereals, baked goods, sauces, and dairy-based desserts. Its primary functions are to provide flavor, texture, and nutritional value.

Milk is a common food item regulated by the FDA. It is a source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D (when fortified). The 'reduced fat' designation means it contains less fat than whole milk. There are no specific JECFA or EFSA evaluations for milk as an additive, as it is a fundamental food. The FDA does not set ADIs for whole foods like milk.
