I was just referring to her post #25:
"Unfortunlately yes, I re-read those label of skim milk with fat-free... and cannot beleive when I re-read it."
However:
"Starting Jan. 1, 1998, the labeling of fat-reduced milk products will have to follow the same requirements the Food and Drug Administration established almost five years ago for the labeling of just about every other food reduced in fat. From now on:
* 2 percent milk will become known, for example, as "reduced fat" or "less fat" instead of "low fat";
* 1 percent milk will remain "low fat" or become, for example, "little fat"; and
* skim will retain its name or be called, for example, "fat-free", "zero-fat", or "no-fat" milk. "
Fat-Reduced Milk Products Join the Food Labeling Fol
Skim milk has to be less than 0.5 g fat.
