About Milk, reduced fat, fluid, 2% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D
Two-percent milk is reduced-fat milk — cow's milk with most, but not all, of its fat removed, leaving about 2% by weight. It's the popular middle ground: lighter and lower in calories than whole milk, but still creamier and more satisfying than skim.
It keeps all of milk's core nutrition — high-quality protein, calcium, potassium, B vitamins and the added vitamins A and D — while trimming some of the fat and calories of the whole-milk version. For many households it's the default for exactly that reason.
Splashed on cereal, stirred into coffee or drunk by the glass, 2% milk is the everyday compromise that keeps much of whole milk's body without all of its fat.
