What it is

Part-skim milk is cow's milk from which some of the milkfat has been removed. It is produced by centrifuging whole milk to separate the cream, then recombining the skim milk with a portion of the cream to achieve a specific fat content, typically between 0.5% and 2% milkfat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use part-skim milk to provide a creamy texture, flavor, and nutritional value to products while offering a lower fat content than whole milk. It is commonly found in cheeses, sauces, baked goods like croissants and muffins, and various dairy-based products.

Health notes

Part-skim milk is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (when fortified). JECFA has not evaluated part-skim milk as a food additive, as it is a basic food commodity. There are no notable controversies regarding its safety at typical intake levels, though some individuals may have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 major food allergens identified by the FDA.
