What You Should Know

fairlife Whole Ultra-Filtered Milk is a refrigerated dairy jug you’ll typically find in the milk aisle of a supermarket, shelved alongside conventional and plant-based milks, creamers, and other specialty milks (lactose-free, organic, A2). Packaged in a sturdy plastic 52 fl oz jug with a prominent fairlife logo, the bottle leans into clean, modern branding and family-oriented messaging rather than cartoon or kid-targeted graphics. The label emphasizes wholesomeness — “real cow’s milk,” lactose free, no artificial growth hormones — and calls out nutrition claims (50% more protein, 50% less sugar) that create a health-halo for fitness-minded shoppers. You’ll see it on grocery lists for weekend brunches, mornings when families need cereal and coffee, or fitness-focused shopping trips where higher protein and ease of digestion are priorities. The brand positions itself toward active, health-conscious adults and parents who want traditional dairy benefits (calcium, protein) with modern tweaks—convenience of lactose-free and enhanced protein content—framed as smarter, science-driven milk. Sensory-wise, the milk pours with a creamier, slightly thicker mouthfeel than standard whole milk and reads as full-flavored and smooth; people use it the same ways as regular milk—coffee, cereal, smoothies, baking, or just a cold glass—often as a daily ritual. Processing context: the milk is ultra-filtered to concentrate protein and remove some sugars, and fortified with vitamins and lactase enzyme to make it lactose-free. It carries conventional rather than organic certification and markets natural-sounding benefits rather than minimal processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Ultra-filtration and the addition of lactase and vitamins are industrial processes that modify milk but involve few artificial additives, placing it in the processed foods category rather than the ultra-processed group.
