What it is

Skim milk is milk from which most of the fat has been removed. It is a liquid that comes from cows, goats, or sheep. The fat is typically removed through a process called centrifugation.

Skim milk is used as a base for many dairy products, including ice cream, yogurt, and cheese. It provides a creamy texture and protein without the fat. It is commonly found in low-fat or "light" versions of dairy desserts and beverages.

Health notes

Skim milk is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers skim milk to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Major health organizations recognize milk and dairy products as part of a healthy diet, providing important nutrients.

Allergen info
