Nutritional Overview

Semi skimmed milk is a food item that can be part of a varied diet. Per 100g serving, it provides 50 kcal of energy, 3.6g of protein, 4.8g of carbohydrates, and 1.8g of fat.

It is a good source of protein, providing 3.6g per 100g (around 29% of its energy), approximately 7% of the UK Reference Nutrient Intake of 50g per day. Under UK/EU nutrition-claim rules, that meets the "high protein" threshold of at least 20% of energy from protein. Protein plays a key role in muscle repair, immune function, and keeping you feeling full for longer.

With just 1.8g of fat per 100g, it meets the UK/EU "low fat" nutrition-claim threshold. This makes it a lighter option for those monitoring their fat intake as part of a heart-healthy or weight-management diet.

With only 4.8g of sugar per 100g, it meets the UK/EU "low sugar" nutrition-claim threshold. This makes it a suitable choice for those reducing their sugar intake as part of a balanced diet.

Each 100g serving contains 0.11g of salt, meeting the UK/EU "low salt" nutrition-claim threshold. The NHS recommends adults consume no more than 6g of salt per day, so choosing lower-salt foods like this one makes it easier to stay within that limit and supports healthy blood pressure. Semi skimmed milk is 50 kcal per 100g on its own, but the real number is what it adds to your full day. Our daily food calorie calculator shows you that.
