Milk and Dairy Foods
It is recommended that we eat or drink items from this group three times a day. Milk and dairy foods are good sources of protein, vitamins and minerals, and represent the richest source of calcium in the diet. Adults should choose low-fat versions such as semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, which contain just as much calcium, protein and B vitamins. Children may have whole milk to ensure an adequate supply of energy and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
15% of our total food intake should come from this group.
