What it is
Organic Grade A Nonfat Milk is milk from cows raised under organic farming standards, meaning they are not given antibiotics or growth hormones and are fed organic feed. It is pasteurized and homogenized, and the fat has been removed. Grade A refers to the quality of the milk based on bacterial count, somatic cell count, and processing standards.
