Milk, goats, pasteurised

Pasteurised goats’ milk is milk from goats that has been heat-treated to reduce harmful bacteria. It provides protein, fat and carbohydrate, mainly in the form of the milk sugar lactose, as well as calcium. Per 100g, it contains 3.1g of protein, 3.7g of fat, including 2.4g of saturated fat, and 100mg of calcium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Goats’ milk contains lactose and is generally not suitable for people with cows’ milk protein allergy because the proteins are similar. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
