Worldwide, over 6 billion people consume milk or milk products. Containing 13 essential nutrients, it’s no wonder milk products have remained a staple in our diets. Along with being rich in calcium and protein, milk contains nutrients such as Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. These nutrients deliver a variety of health benefits to children and adults alike. Famously, calcium and vitamin D help to support healthy bones, but let’s not forget about zinc and immune health, or vitamin B12 and brain health. These nutrients are especially important for children as they grow and develop.
Milk products fortified with additional nutrients to provide added health benefits are becoming increasingly popular. Consumers are showing interest in products with brain health claims, with milk and plant-based alternatives with brain benefits growing at twice the rate as products without them.
Milk can be found with different fat contents, like whole, 2% or skim. We’ve also seen different flavored milk products, including chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. In recent years, we have seen plant-based milk products growing in popularity among consumers. Almond, oat, and soy milk are among the most sought dairy-free options.
