Milk, skimmed, per 100 g: 34 kcal, 3.4 g protein, 5 g carbohydrate, 0 g fibre, 0.1 g fat. Figures are the USDA reference values for “Milk, nonfat, fluid, with added vitamin A and vitamin D (fat free or skim)”.
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.
