Extra low fat milk Explanation: Well, low fat milk would be lettmelk. This is a Norwegian product, extra low fat milk. I don't think you could go wrong going with my expression. However, I do not know if the same product even exists in the US. |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +10.5-0.7% milk Explanation: I haven't seen any equivalent sold in the shops in the UK or the US. In the EU, there are three set categories of milk (whole milk, semi-skimmed milk and skimmed milk). Milk of any other fat content is allowed to be sold if the fat content is specified explicitly. So, unless you are translating a recipe using this type of milk (in which case I'd use 'skimmed milk'), it would be best to just use the phrase stipulating the fat content, since 'extra light milk' is a phrase that is often used by people to mean 1% milk.
