What it is
Certified Organic Grade A Whole Milk is milk from cows raised on certified organic farms. 'Grade A' indicates it meets federal milk safety and quality standards. Whole milk contains about 3.25% milkfat.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use whole milk as a primary ingredient in dairy products like yogurt and cheese, and as a liquid base for beverages. It provides a creamy texture, rich flavor, and nutritional value.
Health notes
Whole milk is a source of calcium, vitamin D (if fortified), and protein. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers milk a major food allergen. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have established upper intake levels for certain vitamins and minerals, but not for whole milk itself. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk and its components.
