What it is
Skim milk is cow's milk that has had most of the fat removed. The fat is separated from the milk, and then some of the milk solids are returned to the skimmed milk. This results in a liquid with a fat content of 0.5% or less.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use skim milk as a low-fat liquid base in many products. It provides protein, calcium, and a milky flavor without the richness of whole milk. It's commonly found in dairy beverages, baked goods, and frozen desserts.
Health notes
Skim milk is recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium, which are important nutrients. The WHO/IARC has not classified skim milk regarding carcinogenicity. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of skim milk.
Allergen info
Skim milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
