Semi-skimmed UHT milk is milk with some of its fat removed, heat-treated at an ultra-high temperature so it can be stored unopened without refrigeration. It provides protein, carbohydrate mainly as milk sugar, and minerals including calcium. Per 100g, it contains 3.3g of protein, 4.9g of sugars, 1.6g of fat and 110mg of calcium.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The sugar in plain milk is naturally occurring lactose, rather than added sugar. Semi-skimmed milk still contains some saturated fat, which is relevant when monitoring saturated fat intake.
