What it is
This is milk from cows that have been pasteurized, a process of heating to kill harmful bacteria. 'Part-skim' means some of the fat has been removed, making it lower in fat than whole milk. 'Organic' means the milk comes from cows raised according to USDA organic standards, which include specific feed and living conditions.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use it as a primary ingredient in dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and as a liquid base in sauces and baked goods. Its protein and fat content contribute to texture, flavor, and richness in foods.
Health notes
Milk is a source of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider milk a safe food ingredient. Some individuals have lactose intolerance or milk allergies, which are immune responses or digestive issues, not typically related to the milk itself being inherently harmful at normal consumption levels.
Allergen info
