Organic Skim Milk

Organic skim milk is cow's milk from which the cream, or milk fat, has been removed. It is produced by separating the fat from whole milk, resulting in a liquid with very low fat content. "Organic" means the milk comes from cows raised according to USDA organic standards, which include specific feed, living conditions, and no synthetic hormones or certain pesticides.

Manufacturers use organic skim milk as a source of protein and calcium, and to add a creamy texture and flavor to various food products. It is often found in beverages, dairy products like yogurt, baked goods, and processed foods where a low-fat dairy component is desired.

Skim milk is a common food item and not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. It is recognized as a nutritious food, providing essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified). For individuals with lactose intolerance, consuming milk products can cause digestive discomfort.
