What it is

Part-skim cow's milk is milk from which some of the fat has been removed. It is a common ingredient in many dairy products, including cheeses and yogurts. The process of removing fat is carefully controlled to achieve specific textures and fat content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use part-skim cow's milk to reduce the fat content of products while maintaining a creamy texture and rich flavor. It is frequently found in cheeses, yogurts, ice cream, and baked goods. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for a wide range of processed foods.

Health notes

Part-skim cow's milk is a dairy product and a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers milk and milk products to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk components, generally finding them safe. Concerns about milk consumption often relate to lactose intolerance or milk allergies, which are distinct from the ingredient itself.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with a milk allergy should avoid products containing part-skim cow's milk.
