Milk

Milk in France is almost never sold in containers bigger than 1 liter or about a quart. I always try to buy "lait ecreme" which is supposed to have had the cream removed, but I am not sure what that means in terms of fat. Now that I look at the label on a liter of Lactel Matin Leger (this one is also .5% lactose), it seems to say that saturated fats are .13 grams/100 ml. I do not know how we calculate fat levels in the US but this seems to be an apples and oranges exercise in trying to come up with a percentage. 33 calories for each of 100 ml as well. Here is the main website for the company.
