Examples include: butter, buttermilk, butter oil, milk fat, cream, milk, partly skimmed milk, skim milk.
Health considerations
Individual milk ingredients have unique health properties. All milk ingredients carry the risk of triggering a milk allergy as they may contain the protein that is allergenic.
Keep in mind
Use of milk ingredients on a label allows the manufacturer to change the actual ingredient itself between batches depending on factors including availability and cost. There is no way to know which milk ingredient is actually within the product.
