§ 39732 Milk Fat And Solids Standards

• •This law is about the fat and solids in skim milk.
• •Skim milk must have very little fat—less than 0.2%.
• •Skim milk must have at least 8.25% of other milk stuff (like protein and sugar).
• •If a company sells milk called 'skim' but it has more fat or less solids, they’re breaking the law.

You buy a carton of skim milk at the store.

The milk must have almost no fat (less than 0.2%) and enough of the other good stuff from milk (at least 8.25%). If it doesn’t, the store or milk company could get in trouble.
