Milk, skimmed, pasteurised, winter

Skimmed pasteurised milk is milk with most of its fat removed, then heat-treated to reduce harmful bacteria. These figures describe winter milk, averaged across glass bottles, plastic containers and cartons. It provides protein, carbohydrate mainly as lactose, and minerals including calcium and iodine. Per 100g, it contains 3.5g of protein, 4.2g of sugars, 124mg of calcium and 0.2g of fat.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The sugar in plain milk is naturally occurring lactose, rather than added sugar; lactose may cause digestive symptoms in people with lactose intolerance. Skimmed milk contains little fat or saturated fat. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
