What it is

Pasteurized skim cow's milk is cow's milk that has had most of its fat removed and then been heated to kill harmful bacteria. This process helps to extend its shelf life and make it safer for consumption. It is a liquid dairy product with a thin consistency.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pasteurized skim cow's milk as a base ingredient in many dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and in processed foods such as sauces and baked goods. Its low fat content makes it a lighter alternative to whole milk in recipes. It contributes moisture and protein to food products.

Health notes

Pasteurized skim cow's milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk and dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Pasteurized skim cow's milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
