What it is

Full cream milk, also known as whole milk, is milk from cows or other mammals that contains its natural milk fat content. It is a nutrient-rich liquid produced by female mammals to feed their young. In commercial production, it is typically pasteurized and homogenized.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use full cream milk as a source of fat, protein, and flavor in a wide variety of foods. It contributes to richness, creaminess, and a smooth texture. It is commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, desserts, and beverages.

Health notes

Full cream milk is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for general use in food. It is a source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein, which are important for bone health and overall nutrition. The WHO/IARC has evaluated dairy products, but not specifically full cream milk in isolation, regarding cancer risk. Evidence on the health effects of full-fat dairy consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others raising concerns about saturated fat intake.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA. Therefore, full cream milk is a major allergen.
