Low Fat Milk appears in 190 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer

This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 57 of 190 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1% Low Fat Chocolate Milk; 1% Low Fat Chocolate Milk, Chocolate; 1% low fat milk to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 55–100 score range to Low Fat Milk itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the captured list, and Dairies supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
57 of 190 linked records have some flagged component
All 179 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 55–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
