Farmland Dairies Skim Plus Milk, Fat Free

Skim Plus Farmland Dairies Skim Plus Milk is a 64‑ounce fat‑free milk sold in the refrigerated dairy aisle, usually stacked with other milks (whole, 2%, 1%), lactose‑free and plant milks, and nearby creamers and yogurt. The label leans into a health‑forward story — “Fat Free Milk” with boosted protein and calcium claims, vitamin fortification, and a “no artificial growth hormones” line — positioning the product for shoppers who want the nutritional benefits of milk without the fat. Marketing language targets adults concerned with bone health and protein intake (the pack explicitly calls out benefits for those over 40) and competes with both conventional dairy and fortified plant milks by emphasizing “11x the protein of almond milk” and “34% more calcium than whole milk.” The packaging is a tall refrigerated carton (or plastic jug at many stores) with clean, simple branding and a “simple ingredients” callout; there’s no organic certification, no kid‑centric characters, and the health claims create a nutritional halo. In plain processing terms it is ultra‑pasteurized and homogenized milk with added vitamins A and D. Sensory cues: despite being fat‑free, the brand promises a rich, creamy mouthfeel and a fresh, mildly sweet dairy flavor — familiar for pouring over cereal, blending into smoothies, stretching in coffee or using in recipes. Ritual uses include morning cereal, post‑workout shakes, baking and everyday cooking. In American grocery culture it sits as a pragmatic, reassuring choice for families and older adults who want traditionally familiar milk with modern nutrient messaging and convenience.
