Skimmed UHT milk is milk with most of its fat removed, heat-treated at an ultra-high temperature to extend its shelf life before opening. The milk described here is unfortified. It provides protein, carbohydrate mainly as milk sugar (lactose), and minerals including calcium. Per 100g, it contains 3.4g of protein, 4.9g of sugars, 102mg of calcium and 0.1g 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, but it still contributes to total carbohydrate intake. Its low fat content may be relevant to people monitoring their fat intake. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (22 samples, summer (June/Sep) and winter (Jan/Mar), unfortified and manufacturers' data). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
