Milk. 100% Juice - Fruit Juice: Pear Juice From Concentrate

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid produced by mammals to feed their young. For human consumption, it typically comes from cows, goats, or sheep and is processed (pasteurized and often homogenized) to ensure safety and improve shelf life.

Milk is widely used as a beverage and as an ingredient in many foods. It provides flavor, texture, and nutritional value to dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream, as well as baked goods, sauces, and processed foods.

Milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended uses. It is a source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D (when fortified). Some individuals experience lactose intolerance, a digestive discomfort caused by the inability to fully digest lactose, the sugar in milk. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories, which can be a consideration with full-fat dairy products.
