I think 1% is the new orange one, which is between green semi-skimmed 2% and 0.1% skimmed red bottles. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

So 1% is half the fat of semi skimmed.

And I understand semi-skimmed is half full fat and half skimmed.

So that would make if correct 3/4 skimmed and 1/4 full fat = 1%

Perhaps they ought to make this clear on the label!

And the point about the dairy farmer .. I would support a co operative of dairy farmers who refuse to sell to supermarket unless they get the price they want. Of the EU comes into the equation but hopefully if Greece goes down there won't be any EU left to interfer.

Whole standardised milk is whole milk standardised to a minimum fat content of 3.5%.
Semi skimmed milk is the most popular type of milk in the UK with a fat content of 1.7%,
1% fat milk

The EU regulations for milk classification previously divided milk into three categories defined by the fat content; whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed. Prior to 2008, any milk that contained a different fat content was defined as a ‘milk drink’.
On the 1st of January 2008 new regulations came into force to facilitate consumer choice. Now any milk with a fat content other than those laid out can also be considered as ‘milk’, provided that its fat content is clearly indicated on the packaging in the form of ‘….% fat’. However, these milks cannot be described as whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed.
Following this change in regulation 1% fat milk is now offered to consumers who like the taste of semi-skimmed, but want to enjoy milk with a lower fat content.
The nutritional differences between semi-skimmed and 1% fat milk are small and dependent mainly on the difference in fat content. 1% fat milk contains 40% less total and saturated fat than standard semi-skimmed milk. In addition, it has a lower energy content than semi-skimmed, and slightly lower levels of vitamins A and E, but has a higher calcium content.

Saw this offer in the paper yesterday and I'm sure it said it ends on Sunday.

Popped in today - it's still on offer at 50p but I forgot to look to see when the offer finished - sorry!

For those of you who want to know how comparable on taste 1% is, personally i find skimmed milk like water and i won't drink it by choice. My first choice for a drink is semi skimmed but i couldnt tell the difference between my normal semi skimmed and the 1% on taste alone, however...........

....... i did notice my purse was heaver on the way out the store!

terrierlady · 30 June 2011 at 7:51PM

you are right the taste was same to me too

kerri_gt · 1 July 2011 at 4:55PM

I can also vouch that 1% and Semi-Skimmed taste the same (to me anyway)
