Produced In A Facility That Processes: Milk

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals. In the US, the vast majority of milk consumed comes from cows. It is a complex mixture of water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates (lactose), vitamins, and minerals.

Milk is consumed as a beverage and used as a key ingredient in a wide variety of foods. It provides richness, moisture, and flavor in baked goods, dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and sauces. Milk proteins also contribute to browning and texture in processed foods.

Milk is a source of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers milk a major food allergen. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated milk as a single ingredient in the same way they evaluate food additives. For individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies, consumption can cause digestive upset or allergic reactions.
