Is chocolate milk really made from sub-grade white milk?!
Is chocolate milk really made from sub-grade white milk?
I've heard that chocolate milk is acutally made from cast-off, run-off or spilled white milk from milk factories. Is this true?
Answers:
I took a tour of a Knudsen Farms dairy in Wisconson and they had huge vats of milk that had stasrted turning sour,that had been left over then processed into chocolate milk.So they told us
Don't know where you are from but I'm from east Tennessee not far from where the Mayfields Dairy farms are and I know for fact that the only difference in the white milk and chocolate milk is a little chocolate syrup
No (that would be against health regs). However--put on your gross guard--I have heard that sometimes when a cow is milked, blood gets in the milk. The tainted milk can't be sold as "white" milk, so it gets used as chocolate milk, since it hides the color.
Of course, not all chocolate milk is tainted in this way.
i believe it is older, and therefore sours sooner. i have noticed this and often if you have a sensitive nose u can smell a difference.
only if it doesnt say 1% 2%...
First of all all dairys are under strict regulations and have to dispose of any milk that does not pass a battery of test before it is processed and pasturized.
Chocolate Milk is a fine product, depending on the dairy they may use a number of ingredients, most have a small amount of a thickener, sugar, chocolate product, mostly cocoa and vanillin, a food based vanilla product.
If anything like the issues you raised were true or found to be present, the dairy would be closed and torn down so fast the cream would turn into butter???
No . Its as good as white. And to ease your discomfort with the above statement.
Go take a visit at your local fair (go to the dairy barn if they have one) or visit a milk farm. You will probably find that sanitary conditions are not all that sanitary. (The FDA does allow certain amounts of contaminants (feces, bugs etc.) into food products. It is almost impossible to keep bugs out of stuff. I heard from a co-worker today that the food industry actually puts SAWDUST in hamburgers so it will retain its moisture. By the way, its okay cause they call it CELLULOSE
Yummy.
