What it is

Pasteurized organic skim milk is milk from cows raised on certified organic farms, with the fat removed. The milk is heated to kill harmful bacteria, a process called pasteurization. Organic standards mean cows are not given antibiotics or growth hormones and are fed organic feed.

Why it's used

Skim milk is used as a low-fat liquid base in many products. Manufacturers use it in yogurt, ice cream, and some sauces and dressings for its protein and calcium content without the fat. It can also be used as a source of protein and moisture in baked goods.

Health notes

Pasteurized organic skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calcium and vitamin D (if fortified). The World Health Organization (WHO) has not specifically evaluated skim milk. Evidence does not link typical consumption of skim milk to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is not gluten-containing.
