What it is

Filtered low-fat Grade A milk is cow's milk that has had some of its fat removed and has been passed through a filter. Filtering helps remove bacteria and other impurities. "Grade A" refers to milk that meets specific sanitary standards for production and quality.

Filtered low-fat Grade A milk is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a natural source of calcium, vitamin D (often added), and protein. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated filtered low-fat milk as a distinct food additive, but milk and dairy products are part of dietary guidelines worldwide. Typical consumption is not associated with adverse health effects.
