Additives
Milk consists of only a single, natural ingredient: milk! Milk may be heat treated for food safety purposes, but no colourants, preservatives, sweeteners, water or flavourings are added to regular white milk.
No sugar is added to milk. Owing to their lower fat content, low-fat and fat-free milk have a higher sugar and protein content than full-cream milk. Long-life milk has a slightly sweet taste as a result of ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment.
No, water may not be added to milk nor may such products be sold in South Africa.
No preservatives are added to milk, whether it is fresh, pasteurised milk or long-life (UHT) milk.
