What it is

Partially skimmed milk is cow's milk that has had some of its butterfat removed. It typically contains between 1% and 2% butterfat. This process is done to reduce the fat content while retaining most of the milk's other nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use partially skimmed milk as a liquid base in a wide variety of products. It contributes moisture, protein, and a mild dairy flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cookies, as well as in puddings and custards.

Health notes

Partially skimmed milk is a natural food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calcium and vitamin D, which are important for bone health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and dairy products. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a nutritious part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Partially skimmed milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
