What You Should Know

You’d spot this carton in the dairy aisle or in a fridge at home—reached for morning cereal, coffee, or school lunches as a familiar everyday staple that feels wholesome and practical. The 2% fat level and added vitamins give a sense of mild tailoring for nutrition, while pasteurization and homogenization explain the smooth, consistent texture; the short ingredient list (reduced fat milk, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3) points to minimal processing rather than an ultraprocessed product.
