What it is

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals. In the US, the term "milk" typically refers to cow's milk, which is a primary source of nutrition for human infants and a widely consumed beverage and food ingredient.

Why it's used

Milk is used in a vast array of food products due to its flavor, nutritional content, and functional properties. It serves as a base for dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and is a key ingredient in baked goods, ice cream, sauces, and beverages, contributing richness, moisture, and protein.

Health notes

Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated milk and its components. While generally considered safe and nutritious, some individuals have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
