Cows Milk

Cow's milk is a nutrient-rich liquid produced by female cows. It is a primary source of nutrition for young calves and has been consumed by humans for thousands of years. Milk is typically collected from dairy farms, processed for safety and shelf-life, and then distributed.

Milk is used as a base ingredient in many dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and butter. It also functions as a source of moisture, fat, and protein in baked goods, sauces, and beverages. Manufacturers use it to add richness, creaminess, and a mild flavor to a wide variety of foods.

Cow's milk is a source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein, which are important for bone health and overall nutrition. The FDA recognizes milk as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the WHO/FAO's JECFA have evaluated milk and its components. While generally considered safe and nutritious for most, some individuals experience lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
