What it is

Whole and skim refers to dairy ingredients derived from cow's milk. Whole milk contains all its natural fat content, while skim milk has most of the fat removed. These ingredients are obtained through processes like pasteurization and fat separation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add whole and skim milk ingredients to provide flavor, texture, and nutritional value, such as protein and calcium. They are commonly found in dairy products like cheeses, and in prepared foods such as pasta dishes and frozen entrees, where they contribute to creaminess and richness.

Health notes

Milk and milk products are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These are common food ingredients, not food additives, and are consumed as part of a regular diet. There are no specific controversies regarding 'whole and skim' as an ingredient, though dietary guidelines often discuss the role of dairy fat in a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
