Milk, semi-skimmed, per 100 g: 50 kcal, 3.3 g protein, 4.8 g carbohydrate, 0 g fibre, 2 g fat. Figures are the USDA reference values for “Milk, reduced fat, fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D”.
At 100 g it reaches the EU threshold to be called a source of vitamin d, vitamin b12, calcium. The table below gives the full composition, and every claim listed underneath is quoted from the EU register rather than written by us.
