Mountain Dairy Grade A Fat Free Milk — MUNCH
Munch or Dump rates Mountain Dairy Grade A Fat Free Milk by Mountain Dairy MUNCH — score 100/90.
Three ingredients: milk with the fat skimmed out, plus the two vitamins the law says you put back. This is about as unprocessed as a packaged product gets. Kroger's store brand isn't even trying to health-wash it — it's just milk.
Why this verdict
- Only 3 ingredients, all recognizable: nonfat milk plus vitamin A and D fortification
- Vitamin A palmitate and D3 are standard, mandated fortification that replaces what skimming removes — not additives for show
- No sweeteners, stabilizers, gums, or flavorings of any kind
- 8g of complete dairy protein per cup at roughly 80 calories — strong nutrition per calorie
- Clean short list protection applies: minimal processing, whole-food base
Ingredients (3)
- Pasteurized Nonfat Milk (safe) — Skim milk delivers high-quality protein, calcium, and potassium with the fat removed. Whole, minimally processed.
- Vitamin A palmitate (safe) — Standard fortification to replace vitamin A lost when fat is removed. A nutrient, not an additive of concern.
- vitamin D3 (safe) — Routine fortification that aids calcium absorption. Beneficial, not a red flag.
