What it is

Grade A Reduced Fat Milk is cow's milk that has had most of the butterfat removed. It contains 2% milkfat. The 'Grade A' designation means it meets federal standards for quality and sanitation.

Why it's used

Reduced fat milk is often sold as a beverage on its own. It is also used as an ingredient in other dairy products like yogurt, cheese, and ice cream, as well as in baked goods and processed foods.

Health notes

Reduced fat milk is a source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not set a specific upper intake level for milk. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk and its components. Evidence does not indicate adverse health effects from consuming reduced fat milk at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is not gluten-containing.
