Kroger 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk
What it is
This is a dairy beverage made with milk that has had most of its fat removed. It is then combined with cocoa and sweeteners to create a chocolate flavor. The lowfat content means it contains less fat than whole milk or even 2% milk. It is a ready-to-drink product, meaning it is prepared and packaged for immediate consumption. The milk is pasteurized for safety and to extend its shelf life.
