2% Reduced-Fat Milk

2% Reduced-Fat Milk

Everyday

2% low-fat milk is a reduced-fat dairy product where 98% of the milk's weight comes from non-fat components, retaining essential nutrients while lowering saturated fat content. This cow's milk variant undergoes partial cream removal during processing, maintaining a creamier texture than skim milk while providing significant calcium and protein levels comparable to whole milk. It remains a lactose-containing beverage but offers a middle-ground option for those balancing flavor preferences with fat intake goals.
