Milk, 1% fat, pasteurised

This pasteurised, reduced-fat milk provides protein, carbohydrate mainly in the form of lactose, and minerals including calcium. Per 100g, it contains 1g of fat, 3.5g of protein, 4.8g of sugars and 123mg of calcium. The supplied values are an average of skimmed and semi-skimmed milk.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The sugar in plain milk is naturally occurring lactose rather than added sugar. Reduced-fat milk still contains some saturated fat, which is worth noting when comparing milk products. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
