What it is
This is a carton of organic milk that has been processed to reduce its fat content to one percent. It is made from cows that are raised according to organic farming standards, meaning they are not given antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones and are fed organic feed. The milk is pasteurized to ensure safety and has a longer shelf life when refrigerated.
