What it is

Reduced fat ultra-filtered milk is a dairy product made by filtering milk to remove water and lactose, then concentrating the remaining protein and fat. This process results in a milk with a higher protein-to-fat ratio and less sugar (lactose) than conventional milk. It is often used as a base for other dairy beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use reduced fat ultra-filtered milk primarily for its concentrated protein content and lower lactose levels. It is a common ingredient in reduced-fat milk beverages, protein shakes, and other dairy-based drinks, providing a creamy texture and a source of protein.

Health notes

Reduced fat ultra-filtered milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It contains more protein and calcium per serving compared to regular milk, with less sugar. The WHO/IARC has not classified milk or its components in a way that suggests health concerns at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from consuming this ingredient at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Reduced fat ultra-filtered milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
