What it is

Whole goat milk is milk from a domestic goat. It is a complete food source for young goats and is commonly consumed by humans. It is similar in composition to cow's milk but has a different fatty acid profile and protein structure.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole goat milk as a primary ingredient in dairy products like cheese and yogurt, and as a base for infant formula. It is also used in baked goods, ice cream, and chocolate for its distinct flavor and creamy texture.

Health notes

Whole goat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. JECFA has evaluated goat milk and its components. Some people who are sensitive to cow's milk may tolerate goat milk better due to differences in protein structure, though it is not a universal solution for milk allergies.

Allergen info

Goat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
