Pasteurized And Homogenized Grade ""a"" Low Fat Cow's Milk

This is cow's milk that has been heated to kill harmful bacteria (pasteurized) and treated to break down fat globules so they disperse evenly (homogenized). It has a reduced fat content, typically 1% or 2%. It is a common base ingredient for many dairy products.

Manufacturers use it as a primary ingredient in products like yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. It provides a creamy texture, protein, and calcium. It is also used as a liquid base in soups and sauces.

Milk is a source of calcium, vitamin D (often added), and protein. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes milk as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Major health organizations recommend dairy products as part of a balanced diet. Some individuals have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
