What it is

Reduced fat milk is cow's milk from which most of the butterfat has been removed. The fat content is typically reduced to 1% or 2% of the total volume. The process involves separating the cream from the milk and then recombining it to achieve the desired fat level.

Why it's used

Reduced fat milk is used as a beverage and as an ingredient in a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers use it to provide a creamy texture and dairy flavor in products like soups, sauces, baked goods, and dairy-based desserts. It is also used in ice cream and yogurt production.

Health notes

Reduced fat milk is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers milk a major food allergen. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk and dairy products in various contexts, often related to nutritional guidelines. Consumption of reduced-fat dairy products is generally associated with a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It is not gluten-containing.
