Welcome to Milk Facts

Our goal is to provide consumers with factual, scientifically supported information about the composition, nutritional content, health issues, and microbial issues associated with milk. It is our hope that this information will be used by consumers to make informed choices about the consumption of pasteurized and raw milk products. For additional information on dairy science, milk microbiology, and other subject matter related to milk, visit the Milk Quality Improvement Program website.

If you are looking for specific COVID-19 information, we have established a clearinghouse of information on the topic here.
