What it is

Grade A Organic Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid produced by cows that meets specific quality and sanitation standards (Grade A). The 'organic' label means the milk comes from cows raised without synthetic pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics, and are fed organic, non-GMO feed.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add milk to products for its nutritional value, creamy texture, and flavor. It is a primary ingredient in many dairy products like yogurt, cheese, and ice cream, and is also used in beverages, baked goods, and sauces.

Health notes

Milk is a staple food regulated by the FDA for safety and quality standards. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and often vitamin D (when fortified). Some individuals experience lactose intolerance, a common digestive issue where the body has difficulty processing the natural sugar in milk. The health benefits of organic milk compared to conventional milk are a topic of ongoing scientific study, with mixed evidence regarding significant nutritional differences. Neither JECFA nor EFSA evaluates milk as a food additive, but its nutritional role and safety as a food are widely recognized.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
