What it is

Grade A skim milk is milk from which most of the fat has been removed. It is a fluid dairy product that is pasteurized and often fortified with vitamins A and D. Skim milk is a common ingredient in many dairy products and beverages.

Why it's used

Skim milk is used as a base for low-fat dairy products like yogurt, cottage cheese, and ice cream. It can also be used in baked goods and beverages to reduce fat content while maintaining a liquid base. Its protein and calcium content also make it a nutritious addition.

Health notes

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products. Typical consumption of skim milk as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
