What it is
Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals. In the US, the term 'milk' typically refers to cow's milk. It is a source of protein, calcium, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients. Milk is often pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and homogenized to ensure a consistent texture.
Why it's used
Milk is a fundamental ingredient in many food products, providing a creamy texture, rich flavor, and nutritional value. It is used in dairy products like cheese and yogurt, as well as in baked goods, sauces, soups, and beverages. Milk can also be processed into milk powder or condensed milk for longer shelf life and concentrated flavor.
Health notes
Milk is a source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, which are important for bone health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes milk as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk and its components. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a milk allergy must avoid all products containing milk or its derivatives.
