Pasteurized Grade "a" Whole Cow's Milk

Pasteurized Grade "A" whole cow's milk is milk from cows that has been heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time to kill harmful bacteria. Grade A is the highest quality grade for milk, meaning it meets specific sanitary and bacterial standards. It is the base ingredient for many dairy products.

Manufacturers use whole cow's milk as a primary ingredient in a wide variety of foods, providing richness, flavor, and moisture. It is essential for making cheeses, yogurts, ice cream, butter, and is often found in baked goods, sauces, and processed meals.

Pasteurized whole cow's milk is a natural source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers fluid 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 and its components. Consuming milk as part of a balanced diet is associated with bone health.
