What it is

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals. In the US, most milk sold is from cows. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin naturally produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is added to milk to help consumers meet their vitamin D needs.

Why it's used

Vitamin D is added to milk to increase its nutritional value, as vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are important for bone health. It is commonly found in fluid milk products like whole milk, reduced-fat milk, and skim milk, as well as some dairy alternatives.

Health notes

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. The FDA considers the addition of vitamin D to milk to be safe and effective. Major health organizations like the WHO and EFSA have also evaluated vitamin D and its role in human health. While generally safe, very high intakes of vitamin D can lead to adverse health effects, but typical intakes from fortified milk are unlikely to cause harm.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, milk with vitamin D3 added is considered a major allergen.
