Skin Milk

Skim milk is cow's milk that has had almost all of its fat removed. It is made by separating the cream from the milk, typically through a centrifuge. The remaining liquid is skim milk, which contains water, protein, lactose (sugar), and minerals.

Skim milk is used as a beverage and as an ingredient in many processed foods. Manufacturers use it to reduce the fat content of products like ice cream, yogurt, and baked goods, while still providing protein and calcium. It's also used in sauces, soups, and dairy-based drinks.

Skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, and skim milk is a common food item with a long history of safe consumption. While it contains natural sugars (lactose), it is low in fat and calories compared to whole milk.
