What it is
Organic Grade A Pasteurized Skim Milk is milk from cows raised under organic farming standards. It has had most of its fat removed and has been pasteurized, a process of heating to kill harmful bacteria. Grade A indicates it meets high standards for quality and safety.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use skim milk as a base for low-fat dairy products, adding protein and calcium without the fat. It provides a creamy texture and acts as a source of nutrients. It is commonly found in yogurts, ice creams, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Skim milk is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified). The FDA considers milk a nutrient-rich food. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO's JECFA have evaluated milk and its components. Consuming dairy products is associated with bone health.
