California Sunshine Reduced Fat Milk
What it is
This is a carton of reduced fat milk from California Sunshine. It is a dairy beverage that has undergone processing to lower its fat content compared to whole milk. The milk is homogenized, meaning the fat globules are broken down to prevent separation, and it may be UHT (ultra-high temperature) treated for longer shelf life. This product is derived from cows.
