How scoring works

The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Up to 15 points come from a confirmed grass-fed or pasture-raised claim. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.

This product: 9 of 9 groups not on the label. Organic claim confirmed. No confirmed grass-fed or pasture-raised claim.

Our research notes

What to know before you choose this milk

The recorded ingredient label lists 3 ingredients, led by organic grade a reduced fat milk, vitamin a palmitate and vitamin d3. None of the additive groups we check appear on the recorded label, and no added sugars or flavors stand out. The maker describes it as organic; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For this milk, the comparison that matters most is style and nutrition: compare fat level, protein and lactose-free or ultra-filtered style on the exact carton.

  • Good signShort ingredient list: 3 ingredients.
  • Good signNone of the nine additive groups we check (seed oils, artificial dyes, MSG, artificial sweeteners, carrageenan, artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, corn syrups, banned-abroad additives) appear on the recorded label.
  • Good to knowIngredient and allergen statements mention milk. Always confirm the full allergen statement on the package.
  • Good to knowMaker states organic. USDA Organic claims are backed by a certifier and the USDA seal.

May suit you if…

  • You want a short, simple label (3 ingredients).
  • You avoid all nine groups we check, from seed oils to banned-abroad additives: none appear on the recorded label.
  • You prefer organic ingredients (confirm the USDA seal on the package).

You may prefer another option if…

  • You avoid milk: the label mentions it.

Compare this against other milk

  • Style and nutrition. Compare fat level, protein and lactose-free or ultra-filtered style on the exact carton.
  • Added sugars. Use the added-sugars line to distinguish sweetening from milk’s natural lactose.
  • Vitamins and other ingredients. Read fortification, lactase and any flavors or stabilizers.
