Milk and cream; not concentrated, not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter
In plain English
This category includes milk and cream that have not been concentrated and do not contain added sugar or other sweeteners. The items are sorted into different groups based on their fat content by weight. One group covers products with 1% fat or less, while another includes those with more than 1% but no more than 6%. A third group contains products with more than 6% but no more than 10% fat, and the final group is for those exceeding 10% fat.
