How bizarre! My DH and I were just saying that the semi-skimmed milk I bought from Morries seems to be watery. He thought it was a previously frozen one we had defrosted and not shaken properly but it was fresh.

It may well have been defrosted before being put on sale

We used to buy the Duchy Organic semi skimmed from Waitrose (usually when it was knocked down in price) and it was noticeably more creamy than the ordinary supermarket brands. A couple of weeks ago, we bought a massive (3 litres?) container of Yeo Valley semi skimmed organic for 55p!!!!, and it was really lovely - I had a pint of it, and I hardly ever drink milk on its own.:)
I must remember to check the fat levels on different brands, but I can definitely tell the difference.

I've not noticed any difference, but we get most of our milk from the milkman, and if we need more, we generally buy Calon Wen organic.

I don't know but the OP could be right.

I can't stand fresh skimmed milk as I find it too watery.

But I can easily drink 1% fresh milk or skimmed UHT milk.

It would result in such a massive scandal if the supermarkets were watering down milk that it wouldn't be worth them trying it.

I would be looking at the nutritional values for things like calcium. That should be about the same as full fat milk. Full 4% fat milk watered down to make 2% fat milk would have half the amount of calcium.
