What it is

Grade A whole milk is milk from cows that meets specific U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) quality standards. It contains all of its natural milk fat and is pasteurized for safety. Whole milk is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole milk as a primary ingredient in dairy products like yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. It also serves as a liquid base for beverages and can add richness and creaminess to baked goods and sauces. Its natural sweetness and fat content contribute to flavor and texture.

Health notes

Whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, which are important for bone health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products. Evidence suggests that the fat content in whole milk may be associated with different health outcomes compared to lower-fat milk, and research is ongoing.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine FDA major allergens. Individuals with a milk allergy should avoid products containing whole milk.
