What it is
Grade A Pasteurized Non Fat Milk is cow's milk that has had most of its fat removed, resulting in a product with less than 0.5% milk fat. It is then pasteurized, a heat treatment process that kills harmful bacteria and extends shelf life, while retaining its nutritional value.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use non-fat milk to provide a dairy base, add protein, and contribute to the texture and flavor of various food products. It is commonly found in yogurts, cheeses, and other dairy-based beverages and desserts, offering a lower-fat alternative to whole milk.
Health notes
Non-fat milk is a common food ingredient regulated by the FDA as a food product, not an additive. It is generally recognized as safe for consumption by the general population, providing essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D (when fortified). There are no specific controversies regarding non-fat milk itself, though some individuals may have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
